Questioning is an important teaching technique that can encourage discussion, arouse interest, maintain learning, summarize major points, reinforce learning, stimulate students' questioning skills, review and re-teach content, and assess teaching and student learning. Good questions are clearly stated using common vocabulary, are thought-provoking, properly directed, and follow the Pose, Pause and Pounce, Bounce method. Effective questioning techniques include encouraging student questions, considering all questions adequately, scattering questions across the entire class, posing questions at appropriate ability levels, and requiring complete answers using correct grammar.
