Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to identify and classify into categories and subcategories the cognitive level of the questions asked by preschool teachers during “story time”. A model based on Bloom’s taxonomy, as adapted by Anderson, was constructed for this purpose, and 63 preschool teachers (transition level two) from 37 subsidized private schools in seven communes in the metropolitan area of Santiago de Chile were observed. The results showed that teachers asked 33 questions, on average, during “story time”. Even though most are open questions, they demand low levels of cognitive behavior.
