Good questions are needed for project based learning, make students interact, and improve students learning. In the The Right Way to Ask Questions post, the author explains the right way to question students. Many teachers fail to realize that when asking if students understand the material and their response is yes, that the student may not realize that they do not understand the material.
- Do not ask more than one question at a time.
- Open-ended Questions. These questions can have multiple answers and will get the class to interact.
- Closed-ended questions. These questions are are basic questions that requires students to recall information.
- Ask divergent questions. These questions include, "imagine...", "suppose...", or "what if?"
Responding to Questions
- Take a few moments to let students think about a answer and pick on a random student to answer.
- Have a response that keeps students thinking.
- Show interests in their answers, either right or wrong.
Asking the right questions can go a long way!
Hey Dominique!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your points on this post and I believe asking the correct questions can benefit student’s cognitive progression!
I like that you have bullet points for the right questions and responding to questions because it gives a quick overview, but I think there could’ve been a bit more information about each point.
Just a couple grammatical errors that I found was first, the word “are” was typed twice in the third bullet point under “What are the right questions?” Also, under “Responding to Questions,” on the first bullet point you may want to change “a answer” to “an answer.”
Your link in the first paragraph is working splendidly, but there are no sources to your pictures.
I love the rainbow question mark picture because it portrays what asking questions involves, which is putting pieces of a puzzle together in order to discover sufficient answers!
Dominique,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job highlighting main points, I like that you used bullet points. It made it easier to read.
However, I feel like this was a very brief post. Was the one link you provided the only source you visited? If so, you should research more and use didn't resources to answer the driving question Dr. Strange asked.
Where are your sources for your pictures?
