Abstract

This study aims at investigating the students' question profile in learning physics at one of the high schools in Tasikmalaya. Three classes were chosen randomly at the same level. The students were asked to write down two questions in a certain time interval after a reading session. Judging from the structure of the question, on average, 47% of students questions were in category 1 (sentence actually asked). There were also 35% in category 2 (as a matter of complement) and 19% in category 3 (command line). Furthermore, 94% of the questions of students were closed questions and 6% of the questions of students were open questions. Overall 59% of the questions of students were included as factual questions and 41% as conceptual questions. Based on cognitive levels of Bloom's taxonomy, percentages of questions given were 38% remembering, 56% understanding, 4% application, 0% analysis, 0% evaluation and creation of 1%.
