I have learned on how and why using questioning as a tool to test student knowledge and enhance their participation during lecture. 

 

I have learned ways in which to ask student’s questions. Not to just call on one person all the time and how to approach those students who are shy and do not answer or ask questions in class. Also to wait a few seconds to allow the student to get their responses out. Also if students are not responding to the questions then I may need to approach in a different way or choose a different question.

I learned that different types of questioning can help gauge the understanding of the students as well as guide the conversation around the course content. 

Don't ask students too broad of a question.

Asking questions leads to better understanding. The type of questions instructors ask the students to lead to better knowledge matters. Questions such as “why” instead of “what” will help delve into a deeper knowledge of the subject matter. The Socratic method can be used by instructors to allow the students to gain a more in-depth knowledge and understanding and it will help related the students to the information being taught. 

I learned by using different types of questions you give students different opportunities to answer the questions. I never thought about it this way and I plan on using this technique to open up the level of fear in the class room.

Questions and questioning between students and teachers provide an interactive path of communication that is or should be a respectful dialogue. Questions also solidify what students have learned and provide valuable insight for a teacher to recognize a student’s participation. Questions can be used as a tool for instructors to marshal greater interest in a particular subject or to spark interest that might be lagging in another subject. 

Of course…there is the answer component of the questioning. The response to questions can be used to reveal what students are learning or better said, what they have retained. 

Posing the question in a different way, into more of a relative type question, ensure's the type of answer needed for a explanation. Will also lead to a more in depth discussion and therefore a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

I have learned to rephrase my questions sometimes to get the students thinking.

Asking questions is important but asking the right questions can be hard. the other 2 most important aspects of teaching is to listen and respond to your students.

Questions asked by both instructor and students can create the linkages needed to connect to purpose of the class and overall course being taught 

Could use some more context for what the girl was just talking about.  Something about quiz"iz" and a parking lot?

This lesson showcases the importance of questions in teaching. This includes both questions asked to the student and by the student. Encouraging conversation and dialogue through questions ensures students are training the information and builds communication and listening skills. I often ask my students questions that will lead to a discussion. This helps the students provide content and multiple perspectives to the class. If a student says, "I don't know," I ask them to tell me something from the lesson that they do know. It's not always just about the one question.

I learned some specific techniques to use while questioning and using the Socratic method, which is useful for the case studies I used in the courses I teach.  I also liked the techniques to engage students who tend to be quiet in class.  

effective use of questioning technique can greatly enhance learning and give the instructor a baseline of where students are at. 

 Questioning students keeps the students focused and involved in the learning process.

THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS

Understanding when to use the right type of question for the students at the appropriate time, an open-ended question, a closed-ended question, question chains, and personalized questions.

I learned different strategies to question the students in order to obtain the most thoughtful response. I will implement these strategies by engaging more students with technology based questions. 

I like to get the students to do activities in the class where they can work together peer to peer.
