Abstract | A study was conducted to identify variables associated with question-asking in the college classroom. Specifically, the study examined the influence of instructional interventions on intentions to ask questions. Subjects, 220 university undergraduates enrolled in a basic communication theory course at a midsize, midwestern, urban university, completed a survey assessing their classroom questioning behavior. Findings revealed that instructor gender and student gender partially explained question-asking. The perceived value of class discussion and satisfaction with the individual's current level of question-asking, however, acted as better predictors of student intentions to ask questions in class. The study further revealed that certain instructional interventions interacted with situational factors to influence question-asking intentions.
