A teacher gives a puzzle to her class-VIII students and asks them to solve it by speaking out how they solve it. What is this strategy known as? Correct Answer Think aloud protocol

The think-aloud technique has been described as "eavesdropping on someone's thinking". With this strategy, teachers verbalize aloud while reading a selection orally. Their verbalizations include describing things they're doing as they read to monitor their comprehension. The purpose of the think-aloud strategy is to model for students how skilled readers construct meaning from a text.

• It helps students learn to monitor their thinking as they read, speak loud, and improve their comprehension.
• It teaches students to re-read a sentence, read ahead to clarify, and/or look for context clues to make sense of what they read.
• The above strategy of teaching is known as the Think-Aloud Protocol. It is a method used to gather data when a person or a group of people are asked to verbalize their thought process during performing a specific task, which is then recorded for further analysis.
• It slows down the reading process and allows students to monitor their understanding of a text.

In the given task by the teacher, she asked her students to solve it by speaking out. So, teacher is following the Think-aloud protocol strategy.

Note: 

Hence, when a teacher gives a puzzle to her class-VIII students and asks them to solve it by speaking out how they solve it, the teacher is following the strategy known as Think-Aloud Protocol.
