THE ART OF QUESTIONING

             What should you do so that you will get the correct answer in doing
             math word problems?


A good question is …
   1. Simple and clear
                           2. Definite
                           3. Challenging and thought provoking
                           4. Adapted to the age, abilities, and interests of the
                                students
                           5. Require an extended response


Techniques of Questioning:
   1. Questions should be asked in a natural and well-modulated voice.
   2. A teacher should ask the question first and then wait for the class to think
      about it before calling on a student to answer the question(s).
   3. A sufficient number of questions should be asked to stimulate students to
      activity
   4. A teacher should refrain from repeating questions.
   5. Questions should be evenly distributed so that the majority of the pupils
      can take part in the discussion.
   6. A teacher should avoid resorting to any mechanical system of fielding
      questions to the class (alphabetical order, row by row).
   7. A teacher should ask questions that are really interesting and thought
      provoking.
   8. Teachers should have their own style of questioning
   9. Teachers increase their repertoire of type of questions
   10. Teachers provide cues:
          a. Acknowledging the correct part of the answer and calling attention
             to the wrong portion
          b. Supplying hints or tips

      attitude toward student answers.

      concepts.

      encouraging remarks by the teacher.
   4. Clarity in every point expressed by the students should be
      insisted upon by the teacher.
   5. Answering in concert should be discouraged.
   6. A teacher should encourage students to answer in a loud and clear voice.
   7. Students should be encouraged to answer in complete thought units and
      grammatically correct statements.
   8. Teachers should refrain from marking the students in their record book during
      class recitation.


Handling students’ questions…
   1. Student questions should be welcomed by a teacher.
   2. A teacher should not answer a student question right away.
   3. Indiscriminate student questions should not be allowed.

   1. Praise correctly formulated questions.
   2. Attend to their questions.
   3. Allot an appropriate time slot for open questioning.
