摘要：Literature describes several aspects that should be taken into consideration when developing strategies to foster student questioning through online discussion forums. Considering those aspects, two different forums were implemented on Moodle to foster the questioning of 1st year undergraduates attending two broad foundation chemistry courses at the University of Aveiro (Portugal). This paper describes those forums, analyzes the perceptions of four selected students about them and discusses what changes can be made in future studies to foster student questioning through online forums. Data was collected through records of online interactions on the forums, interviews, focus groups and the researcher's diary.
