Making the student feel like they are contributing to the lessen makes them want to contribute more.
I often asked my Students questions and I'd get "I don't know the answer" looks or eye balls rolling. I never knew there was a particular technique to asking questions and how to get a productive response from the Students.
I like to be in open interactions with the students by them asking questions. Most of the time if the students have a question for me I always tell them to think about their question or problem first before asking because a majority of the time they answer their own question in the question that they ask.
Re-directing questions is something I like but often don't practice enough. Possibly my material is too easy so I get the answer right away or I don't have the opportunity to create a question from the material that would generate that type of discussion. There is a lot of right-wrong answers, little flexibility with a subject like Worldwide Geography. I'll try to utilize that more.
I learned that by using different types of questions you give your students different opportunities to answer questions.
Questions must be presented to the learners in which they can understand.
This module contained examples for engaging with all types of student response. Equipped with these strategies, an instructor is better able to use questioning as a tool to both expand and assess understanding.
This one helped me with tips on how to handle students not responding, and what do do with students that are trying to redirect or get us on tangents.
Quizziz is a great tool to get classroom participation. The instructor also needs to train to become good at Q/A, like the H.B.S. video.
A thought provoking module on questioning as a learning tool and the Socratic method.
I have learned that the use of questions that are well thought out are an essential tool in the assessment of student learning.
Asking questions seem to be an art, you have to decide what the purpose of your question is, if is to gauge student understanding you can ask open ended questions or if to drive home a specific point you should ask close end question. Always prepare and come up with your question before hand so that the responses will have the desire effect.
The Socratic method of teaching seems interesting. In CTE it could be used to make sure kids understand what gear they will need for a specific type of shoot, how they will set it up, and why they will set it up that way.
Having a portfolio of questions to ask was a good strategy that I want to try and use in all of my classes. And making questions concise is a big one. I have definitely asked a question, gotten confused looks from students, and realized I had to reword the question to make it less "wordy" and more clear.
Questioning is great for teaching. Many students can have the possibility of being vague and non detailed and it can allows me as an instructor to understand the psychological aspect of my students.
Recognition and Praise are important when responding to answers. If shy students see this when other students respond, it may make them feel more at ease. They may even start to open up and start responding and participating in those discussions.
The Socratic method is a great and engaging way to get students to think more critically. As a teacher, it is exciting to see the lightbulb moments when using this process. This module did a great job of covering questioning from all levels of knowledge.
There is a lot more to questioning than I knew. I like the Socratic method and was pleased to find that I do a lot of that without knowing its formal origin.
Questioning is great for teaching due to some answer given by students can have the possibility of being vague and non detailed. This allows me as an instructor to pick the brains of my students.
I love the interaction with students by way of open discussions.
