Creating an exchange between teacher and students encourages students to participate in the class. Allowing students to brainstorm their own questions encourages engagement and self motivation to learn.
Always starting off with an open ended question can lead to better classroom participation.
By using different forms of questions, we can solicit different feedback. this will allow us to see what our students know and to spark discussions.
I learned that questions are good to ask to check understanding of information given, and how to properly ask questions to garner a response.
I have learned that by asking questions and allowing the student to ask questions that learning is taking place. I also tell my students that their are no stupid questions and to not hesitate to ask a question when they need an answer
Offering students the opportunity to ask questions in non-public settings may increase responses.
I have learnt that I mustn't ask too broad questions... otherwise students will not answer in fear of giving a wrong answer..
This lesson gave me new insights into the ways to use questions to invoke deeper understanding; for example, using the Socratic method of inquiry or asking questions for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic or significance.
What are the characteristics of a good question?
I learned about us of the Socratic method of teaching. This method encourages students to explore answers to questions.
Questioning technique encourage the students to be more confident to participate in the conversation which was very helpful to know how to ask question, when to ask and the way of asking question.
Thank you for the examples of how to respond to students when the answer is partially correct or not correct at all. I sometimes fumbled when this happened, so having these examples is helpful.
Reinforce student responses even when it's not the answer you're looking for.
Very informative session. It has helped me to view questions in a new light. I will definitely be implementing some more Q&A in my sessions with students. Also, how to accept and encourage responses to questions - great insight!
Ask questions! Ask all types of questions! Questions encourage discussions, discussions encourage participation, participation leads to a better learning experience
its a good way to keep learners engaged.
Questioning is a type of communication and there is an art form to it. Questions must be at the appropriate level for the class and worded properly.
It is important to formulate the right questions so students can think about the information which in turns fosters greater discussions and interactions.
I like the idea of having another student answer a question directed at the teacher. I think it allows the more advanced students to show their knowledge and stay more engaged.
Great suggestions and strategies for guiding questions!
I have experimented with using the Socratic method with some success--this information will help me practice specific kinds of questions to deepen students' understanding in class
