Asking Questions: What questions do we ask? How do we ask?
This is a very good question. As teachers we are known to ask questions, but if the questions we ask aren't clear or on topic then they aren't helping our students. We have to be specific in what we are asking them for. Sometimes simply changing the phrasing in a question can make a world of difference for students.
We can't expect them to give us detailed information, when we asked a closed ended question. As teachers we have to spend time preparing questions to ask our students just like we prepare the lesson plan and everything else. We also should be aware of the different techniques they use when asking questions. I feel like asking the right questions at the right time in the class is a great tool for teachers to monitor student's understanding.

ReplyDeleteHi Kristin,
ReplyDeleteGood post! I agree with you that teachers should spend time preparing the questions they are going to ask the students. Also, being specific when asking a question really does help!
