This document discusses effective questioning techniques for teachers. It begins by defining questions and explaining why they are important teaching tools for engaging students and assessing understanding. It then categorizes questions according to Bloom's Taxonomy from basic recall questions to higher-order evaluation questions. Additional questioning strategies are presented, including convergent, divergent, reflective, and evaluative questions. Specific questioning techniques are outlined such as "no hands" and "question of the day." The document concludes by discussing how to properly frame questions using interrogative words.

1. Knowledge is having
the right answer.
Intelligence is asking

presentation

3. Classroom
questioning

5. 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.

6. 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

7. • 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

8. 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

9. 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?

10. 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 .

11. 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.

12. • 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.

16. 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
