This document discusses classroom questioning techniques for teachers. It covers types of questions, framing questions, and strategies for effective questioning. Specifically, it discusses Bloom's Taxonomy for classifying questions, convergent vs divergent questioning strategies, and techniques like no hands, call and response, simplifying questions, and wait time. The goal of questioning is to actively engage students, evaluate understanding, and develop higher-order thinking skills. Effective questioning is an important teaching tool.

presentation

2. Classroom
questioning

3. A question is any sentence which has an
interrogative form or function
The use of questions is one of the most
important teaching techniques. Asking
questions forms part of any lesson because it
invites the student to think, Teachers use
questions to engage the students and sustain
an ‘active’ style to the learning.

4. WHY ASK QUESTIONS?
 To actively involve students in the lesson
 To increase motivation or interest
 To evaluate students’ preparation
 To check on completion of work
 To develop critical thinking skills
 To review previous lessons
 To nurture insights

5.  To assess achievement or mastery of goals and
objectives
 To stimulate independent learning
 To test students’ knowledge
 To stimulate creativity
 To modifying students’ perception of the subject
 To encourage students to become self- directed
learners
 To focus attention on a particular issue or concept
 To develop an active approach to learning

6. TYPES OF QUESTIONS
Educators have traditionally classified questions
according to Bloom’s Taxonomy, into six categories;
1) Knowledge- Who are the main characters in the
story?
2) Comprehension-How do they interact?
3) Application- Can you role play an example of a key
event to explain the relationship of the main
characters

7. 4) Analysis – Who are the main
protagonists and what is the common
factor in their purpose, driving the plot?
5) Synthesis – What other books have we
studied that help us understand the
behavior of the main characters?
6) Evaluation - How would you summaries
the difference in this story different?

8. TYPES OF QUESTIONS
According to Orlich (2007) there are four basic
questioning strategies.
1) Convergent questioning - Focuses on narrow
objective.
2) Divergent questioning- Evoke a wide range of student
responses, eliciting higher level thinking responses.
3) Evaluative questioning-develop a logical basis for
establishing evaluative criteria .

9. 4)Recall and fact based Questions-
This requires the respondent to recall some
information from memory, a fact. A school
teacher may ask recall questions of their pupils,
‘What is the highest mountain?’ Process
questions require more thought and analysis
and/or a sharing of opinion.

10.  Reflective questioning-
 It often assess metacognitive skills. It draws its
historical perspective from the classical Socratic
method of questioning. This strategy stimulates a
wide range of student responses, having also
evaluative element, the goal being to require
students to develop higher order thinking . The
process initiated by reflective questions may also
be called critical or analytical thinking.

11. QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES

14. Framing the questions
Framing refers to how important issues are presented
or 'framed' in a survey question. The interrogative
pronouns who, what, whom, whose, which and the
interrogative adverbs where, when, why and how are
used to frame information questions.
The structure ‘how + an adjective/adverb’ may also be
used to frame information questions

15. While Presenting Questions
1. Be sure the question is clear in your own mind.
2. Frame the question without calling on a specific student.
3. After framing the question, pause while everybody has a
chance to think of an answer, then call on a student to respond.
It’s called Wait Time.

16. 4. Ask only one question at a time.
5.Use recall type questions first to be sure students have the
knowledge, then proceed to higher level types of questions.
6. Give students time to think
7. Arrange the room to encourage participation.
