  3. Why teach Questioning? • Research states that effective questioning strategies have a positive impact on overall student achievement. • Knowing how to think to extend the mind beyond the obvious and develop creative solutions to problems should be the outcome of a good education. • Our thinking skills affect how well we can receive and process new information. “To question well is to teach well” (Wilen, 1991)

  4. North American children fall short in the critical skill of questioning.Studies show that teachers ask student limiting questions. Research reports that 75 to 80 percent of the questions posed in elementary and secondary classrooms are at the recall level or memory level. The WHY!

  5. What do you Think? • Chinese proverb: Ask a man a question and he inquires for a day. Teach a man how to question and he inquires for a lifetime. • What does this mean to you?

  6. Did youKnow? • Teachers ask about 300-400 questions a day. Most questions are lower level questions. • Write down some typical questions and practice changing the verbs to create higher level questions.

  8. Types of Questions Closed Questions: typically begin with do, is, can, could, will, would, shall or should andusually have only one response. Used to recall information and assess the prior and post activity knowledge of the students. Recitation.  Open Ended Questions: usually begins with who, what, when, where, or how. useful to stimulate group discussion. may be many different responses. Higher Level Questions require students to work out answers rather than memorize them. give the student a license to explore the possibilities. Bloom categorizes higher level questions into three categories: analysis, synthesis and evaluation. encourage students to think more deeply and critically, to problem solve, inspire discussions and stimulate students to seek information on their own.
