SeminarVIII Communication Skills: Questioning Fred Meyer
Why Use Questioning? • Get students engaged with the subject • Develop rapport between teacher and student • Stimulate critical thinking • Add variety to the class • Assess student learning (but questioning is not particularlyeffective as a classroom assessment tool.) Contact is key! Wankat & Oreovicz, Ch. 6
A Good Question Is... • Short • Unambiguous • Nontrivial (most of the time)

Q200 AdvancedQuestioning ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Workshop 2010
Q200: Advanced Questioning • Blind Question • Misleading Question • The Expert • The Un-Expert
Preconditions for Effective Questioning • Know your students(names and personalities). • Preplan most of the questions you will ask in class. • Be willing to take a risk. • Be willing to assume a leadership role in the classroom.
Plan Questions to… • Review or refresh prior knowledge. • Connect prior knowledge to a new topic. • Stimulate critical thinking about a topic. • During problem-solving, use questioning to: • Develop the problem-solving methodology • Develop diagrams • Develop equations • Crunch the numbers
Responding to Students’ Answers • Listen carefully. • Separate the wheat from the chaff: • Affirm and praise the wheat. • Ignore the chaff • Correct errors only when necessary to prevent problems or misconceptions later. • Be positive. Remember why you’re asking questions!
How do you respond to this answer? • The appropriate response depends on the situation. • As a general rule, attempt to elicit a more meaningful response. • If “I don’t know” is a challenge to your authority, you cannot let it stand. I don’t know…
SeminarVIII – the sequel Communication Skills: Answering Questions
When a Student asks a Question… • Repeat or clarify it, if necessary. • Whenever possible, help the student answer the question herself. • Ask other students to answer the question. • Answer it yourself, only as a last resort. • Defer until later, if appropriate… • …but never let a legitimate question go unanswered.
A Good Answer Is... Be willing to say “I don’t know”… • Accurate • Direct • Efficient • Clear • Positive …but be so well prepared that you never have to say “I don’t know.” …but if you do say “I don’t know,” be sure to follow up later.
