Description¶

The editorial reports that Gemmini-Hornsby, Ainsworth, and O'Malley investigated how asking questions can drive storytelling skill development in an experiment with scripted collaboration and computer support. They found the 'guided-reciprocal-questioning script' effective; it is flexible, letting students select and formulate their own questions, and its scaffolding influence persisted after the script was withdrawn.
