“…Additional evidence has also suggested that formulating productive questions appropriate to the needs and skill level of the learner may be more complex than initially thought (Barnum, 2008;Tofade et al, 2013). For example, assessing the level of difficulty, phrasing, type, sequencing, frequency, and timing of the question may all influence a successful learning outcome (Barnum, 2008;Cook et al, 2019;Hausmann & Schwartzstein, 2018;McCrea & Brasseur, 2003;Tofade et al, 2013). To add to the complexities, students may demonstrate higher productivity in accessing and exercising higher order thinking functions in a learning environment that is considered psychologically safe and positive by the learner (Burningham, Deru, & Berry, 2010;Curtis, Helion, & Domsohn, 1998;Detsky, 2009;Pitney, Ehlers, & Walker, 2006;Thrasher, Walker, & Weidner, 2018;Tofade et al, 2013).…”
