  1. Lesson Eleven Taxonomy of Questions -- like “spelling” Powerpoint: Quandt / ED1061/PowerPoints/ 2010 Lesson 11 Outline: Quandt / ED1061 / Class Matters / Lesson Outlines / Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  2. Today’s Objectives • To analyze and adopt basic rules / guidance re: asking questions. • To explore the three important categories of thinking in a Bible study lesson. • To categorize and understand the seven types of questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  3. QR … quick review Name the six qualities proposed to make for sound Lesson Goals / Aims: For each one named, “tell me something” about it, i.e. why it has merit ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  4. Asking Questions Common sense rules apply to this craft … as usual, the rules are not absolute. They are sound mandates that apply to most scenarios. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  5. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 1. Make a Plan! • intentionalize a logical progression from the simple to the complex ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  6. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 2. Don’t crowd bunch them • Typically don’t exceed 3-4 questions in a row. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  7. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 3. Steer clear of double questions • Especially with younger students it risks splitting their attention / focus. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  8. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 4. Spread them around • You want to involve / engage each student … questions do this! ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  9. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 5. Don’t call on someone before everyone has had a chance to “answer” • This involves the concept of “Wait-Time” ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  10. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 6. Avoid “closed questions” • Generally steer clear of questions that can be answered by a simple “yes” or “no” answer. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  11. Asking Questions – Basic Rules 7. Don’t ignore wrong answers • Typically, this is a rookie mistake … why so? • Think about it … the wrong answer could very well be as beneficial to the learning situation (if you handle it correctly) as the squeaky clean right answer. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  12. Important Categories of Thinking … … especially in a Bible study context. “There are kinds of thinking that are essential in Bible study lessons.” They build upon foundational truths then compare, contrast and analyze in light of those truths. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  13. To Promote Appropriate Thinking … 1. Employ rephrasing questions • “Listening to and believing what Scripture says does require thinking” Rephrasing questions leads students to put what the Bible says in a passage into different words and helps the student gain a better grasp of what a passage is saying. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  14. To Promote Appropriate Thinking … 2. Utilize comparing questions • A marker of the Lutheran Christian approach to interpreting Scripture (let Scripture interpret Scripture) Comparing parallel passages notes how one passage … a) says the same thing as other parallel passages; or b) explains more fully something said in a parallel passage; or c) adds an additional, important point to what is said in a parallel passage. ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  15. To Promote Appropriate Thinking … 3. Use analyzing questions • These require students to analyze ideas and situations they meet / live in the light of Scripture’s truths. This is “big” for those who conduct their private devotions and Bible studies It’s also “big” for public forum Bible study ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  16. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 1 - Echoing • The teacher presents something to the class. Then the teacher asks the class (student) to repeat what the teacher or the text said using the EXACT same words. • The teacher presents something to the class. Then the teacher asks the class (student) to repeat what the teacher or the text said using the EXACT same words. • Obviously, doesn’t require a lot of thinking … so why employ this type of question? • BTW … I’ve never understood the diagrams … You certainly may use them if you “get them” Category One – Repetition Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  17. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 2 -- Rephrasing • The teacher presents something to the class. Then the teacher asks the class (student) to repeat using their own words. • The teacher presents something to the class. Then the teacher asks the class (student) to repeat using their own words. cf. page 18 for examples Category One – Repetition Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  18. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 3 – Comparing a • The teacher presents two (or more) things to the class. Then the teacher asks the class to compare these two things in some way. cf. page 19 for examples Category Two – Comparing Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  19. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 4 – Comparing b • The teacher presents one thing to the class. Then the teacher asks the class: a) to recall something learned earlier; and b) to compare what was recalled to what the teacher just gave the class. cf. page 19 for examples Category Two – Comparing Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  20. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 5 – Evaluating a • The teacher presents something to the class and gives an evaluation of this item. Then the teacher asks the class to prove that this evaluation is correct. cf. page 19 for examples Category Three – Evaluating Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  21. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 6 – Evaluating b • The teacher presents something to the class. Then the teacher asks the class to a) evaluate it; and b) prove that this evaluation is correct. cf. page 19 for examples Category Three – Evaluating Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  22. The Seven Types of Questions … Type 7 – Creating • The teacher asks the students to crate something (a paragraph, a poem, a picture, a prayer) that relates to a key point in a lesson or the whole lesson. cf. page 20 for examples Category Four – Creating Questions ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions

  23. AGE SPECIFIC … There will be nuances for your age groups … • 5th- 6th grade or even 7th – 8th grade you may find yourself needing to employ a fair amount of Type 1 and Type 2 questions … Articulate why this may be? • For teens and adults you may find yourself planning hardly any Type 1 and Type 2 questions … Explain the rationale: ED1061 – Junior Education Lesson 11 – Taxonomy of Questions
