| Abstract: |
The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of undergraduate agricultural students on the cognitive and emotional processes produced after exposure to low- and high-level questions, as well as the effects of post-question wait-time to determine the benefits of differing lengths of post-question wait-time based on the level of question. Forty students were shown four different treatment videos in this with-in subjects design, with each video being followed by either a low- or high-level question. Following each question, a wait-time period of either five seconds or ten seconds was employed before the subjects were instructed to answer the question. The student perceptions resulted in a difference between low- and high-level questions on question difficulty, variability in cognitive engagement, and positive and negative emotions, as well as a difference on their perceptions of what constituted an adequate amount of post- question wait-time for low- and high-level questions. |
