Abstract

Associative question is a way of not providing questions, but only options, so that students must find the correlation between the options, the results show that it has a positive impact on students’ learning achievement. But associative question only options can be used as clues. If the prior knowledge is insufficient or there is no coherence, it will be difficult to find the correlation between the options; secondly, the associative question must establish the correlation, if the option design is difficult to find the correlation, it will not help the thinking. Therefore, in this study, the associative questions function is added to the prompt function. When students find it difficult to find the relationship between the options, they can use prompts as assistance in a timely manner. Students’ answers and questionnaires were measured to find out which question type is more suitable for the associative question type. The experimental results show that timely prompts in associative question can help students answer questions more fluently and improve their learning achievement. Secondly, in the design of question types, through answering results and questionnaire feedback, it can be seen that memory and comprehension are more suitable for associative.
