Questioning - The Basics

Mike, It is easier to draw them out with interpretation or open ended questions since closed ended questions often require a right or wrong answer. With open ended questions you have more leverage to guide them to the correct answer through probing. Judy Mohammed

Questioning - The Basics

John, Probing is good. We are often able to elicit good responses through probing. Sometimes though, I find it necessary to open the question to everyone when I realize that a student may be struggling to respond and my goal is not to embarrass him or her. Judy Mohammed

Kimberly, Pausing after a question can be difficult. I know because I often feel that I have so much material to deliver and not enough time, but pausing allows students to get their thoughts together and I receive stimulating responses. Judy Mohammed
