In this module, I have learned several ways to respond to the students' answer. Also, ways to deal with the silence in the room.
I should ask the same questions in various ways
Questioning students helps determine if they are retaining the content and if not provides you with an an opportunity to fix the situation.
It is important that students are able to freely ask questions in the classroom, without feeling ridiculed by other students or the instructor.
redundant questions can draw focus to a topic and at the same time probe the class for student knowledge I often find students like to shine and offer more they can share something they know
Engaging students through questioning allows the instructor to check student understanding and gain a better understanding of what students know.
As an instructor you will meet distinct types of students, each student; depending on their personality, will be outgoing or reserved based on past interactions either in their home environment or classroom experiences. You will have under the radar students these students are recognized by the hoodie pulled over their head or they sit in the least visible place in the classroom. You will have your miss directors, these students attempt to move the class away from the subject matter to get to the end of the class slowing or stopping delivery of content prohibiting the content progress needed to reach academic requirements, you will experience different personalities. You will learn each of your students personally as you deliver instruction.
Utilize questions that are clear, simple and relevant.
Encourage students to ask questions and provide adequate time to discuss the answers.
There are many different ways one can answer a students question. It can lead to more questions and discussions thast are relevant to the lesson.
You should ask your students questions in a way to get the best answer and to let them give their answer right or wrong, If the answer is not right begin a discussion with the class to get everyone to have an input.
The Socrates method just gives the other person an opportunity to think and apply critical thinking methods.
This module gave excellent examples on how to use questioning techniques to drive discussion and help students capture knowledge. The HBS videos were especially insightful.
I was unaware that there is an art or method to asking questions. I believe this will be a great asset for me in the kitchen.
The Socrates method by asking questions is just a way to make the students think, use their thoughts and encourage them to participate .
Using questions to create a higher level of learning, I love it. This is a great tool to apply in so many ways beyond just general understanding. I have a lot of work to do because I often get the silence in the room so I have to work on asking better questions myself.
I also like the Socrates method and using questions to direct the discussion and keeping it on track
Asking questions is a sophisticated art and should be asked appropriately, worded properrly and at the right level.
Socrates style is veryimpressive andmight use itin the future.
Asking questions fosters class discussion and gets students more involved in learning
I am new to instructing and I am learning a lot from the training. I am excited to know that I am already using a lot of these techniques. I keep in mind that I was once a student myself and think about what helped me relate more to the lessons. This is definitely that needs constant revising. I am glad to know it is just not the questions asked but how the questions are asked will keep the students engaged.
Have a variety of questions for the diverse learning styles and aptitudes of the students. This will increase the level of participation you get from the class in interaction making it beneficial for everyone. Remember to be tactful in regards to answering questions from the students and always give them your undivided attention when they ask you one.
