Its a great teaching strategy! Thank you!!!
I have learned to effectively use different types of questioning to utilize when instructing. If one doesn't work, try a different type of questioning and see how the students respond.
This section on questioning has reminded me of having more questions prepared prior to class so that the phrasing will be more precise the first time asking the question. But questioning is a great way to engage the class and increase their understanding. I love seeing their curiosity peaked. Reading about the implementation of the Socrates method was very interesting.
I learned the importance of understanding questioning techniques. How to ask a question and why it is important to incorporate different question techniques. Also, the instructor’s most common mistake in question is asking too board of a question. the application of questioning creates efficiency of the instructor, and the participation of the students which enhances overall learning.

Great training module. This is the first I have heard of this as a method and look forward to implementing this technique in the future.
I appreciated the redirection in questioning to gauge understanding of the material. Im looking to employ that in some of my classes.
From this module, I’ve learned that questioning is key to student engagement and understanding. I’ll apply diverse questioning techniques, like using both open and closed questions, giving wait time, and encouraging student participation. I plan to use the Socratic method for deeper discussions and redirect questions to other students to promote peer learning. These strategies will create a more interactive classroom and encourage critical thinking.
When instructors question the students it helps the instructor to evaluate the students understanding of the content learned. There are opened questions or closed ended questions. All questions are good but not all answers are correct and it is important to redirect a wrong answer so that the student does not loose confidence in themself and increase low/no participation in in the class.
Institutions are use the Socratic teaching method where teachers are hoping to initiate a discussion about questions that are difficult to answer. Thus, this method ensures questions are promoting learning. This will in turn help promote active engagement and participation.
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.
