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.
Encourage different learning styles and question students in different ways and use open ended questions to help them process and learn.
Questioning in the class will improve students' participation
I would like to add more information to my welcome letter emailed to students prior to a SIM or clinical to include more information about myself, my background, and my interests. Also, it's important to add that I grade frequently, and I'm available to them for support.
Questioning helps to keep students engaged and encourages participation. There are different facets of understanding content and Socratic questioning can help uncover these areas and the level of understanding of the student, while also helping students to think more critically. I intend on using this teaching technique in my educational setting.
I have learned that oftentimes when a student is not asking a question, it is out of fear of responding incorrectly or just being shy in class. I also learned the Socratic Method form of asking questions helps foster learning on a higher level.
This methodology engages all members of the class while also providing a robust dialogue.
I appreciate the Socratic method in combination with case studies as a way to encourage critical thinking.
I learned there are numerous ways to ask questions as well as how to respond ot them. I learned that I am often asking questions that are too broad leaving the students disengaged and frustrated. I also was reminded that I want to work on being comfortable with silence to allow students time to process and answer
I have learned that it is important to ask specific questions to verify understanding of content.
