The main research is concerned with the variety of questions and the ways of forming them in the classroom.
The empirical part contains audio lessons recorded with a voice recorder at two primary schools in the Dolenjska region. We wrote transcriptions of recordings and analysed them by coding, the accumulated questions were placed in certain classifications according to research objectives. At the visitation, at the end of each lesson, a reflection with each teacher was made individually and later gathered into a whole.
