Use questioning to draw students in to the discussion and gage where they are in comprehension of the subject in general.
It is very important to understand that questions/questioning are integral to the learning process. As an instructor you need to be engaging and understand that how you respond to a question is sometimes as impactful as the question itself.
Make sure to ask questions in a way students can engage, respond and learn from
Helpful questions asked in a comfortable setting enhances the motivation of the students.
questioning the question is ok and can help facilitate a deeper understanding of the curriculum by all
This section gave me a better understanding of the Socratic Method and the importance of questioning in the classroom while being fair and listen to the students and their answers/responsed/dialogue.
Questioning the students can increase knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. When questioning, allow for silence and wait for response.
I find that questions can serve many purposes in the classroom by enhancing the learning experience from furthering conversation and engagement to redirecting disruptive students. This definitely helps to broaden my perspective on how to effectively use questions within my students.
Questioning as a teaching technique can stimulate critical thinking and engage students actively in the learning process. I have learned that the Socratic method, inspired by Socrates, is a powerful approach in discussion (suggested for case studies). It involves asking thought-provoking, open-ended questions to guide students to discover answers themselves rather than providing direct information. Overall, I intend to use questioning as a tool in promoting active learning and critical thinking among my students.
To apply this session's topic, I intend to incorporate more open-ended questions in my teaching, encouraging students to explore concepts deeply and articulate their thoughts. I'll also use the Socratic method to facilitate discussions (when applicable) and using strategic questions in each session to foster a collaborative and inquiry-based learning environment. This approach not only enhances comprehension but also helps students develop problem-solving and communication skills while being engaged with the class material. Additionally, I intend to be mindful of using questions at various cognitive levels to cater to different learning stages.
Comment on Shelly GravesLynn's post: Using questions as technique is helpful when assessing if the students are understanding or grasping concepts that are being taught. As an instructor, if the students are not comprehending what was taught, this may be an opportunity to review the information again or have the students look for the answer as a group.
I must remember to give my students time to think and answer on their own, without guiding them to the correct answer prematurely
I love when students ask me questions. Most of the time the students just need a little bit more clarity on a topic.
Lots of good tips on how to use questions as a teaching tool and ways to respond to student answers if correct, partially correct, incorrect, and off topic.
Questioning is an important tool in your instruction. Varying questions from broad to narrow, asking questions that draw students in, asking them to do more than just recall facts, these are all important techniques to employ.
Questioning leaves the lecture up for determining understanding through assumption development. I enjoy this method because by posing a question, you're able to let someone talk through their thought process and develop their opinion or guide their lack of understanding.
Questions help the class to engage in learning. It is important to wait for answers and listen to responses. There are different strategies to expand upon a partial answer or direct students to the correct answer.
Responding to questions effectively can help create better dialogue and ensure learning is taking place
The various techniques of asking a question shapes a student’s learning.
The key for me in this section is to frame my questions in ways not just to get the answer but to check for understanding, and afterwards give my students time to not only answer correctly but affirm and encourage them by repeating the answers they give me to clarify the answers and solutions to a question or problem.
Asking questions is a great way to check if the student understand the material and is a great involve the students in the discussion and expand beyond the scope of what a lecture can provide.
