Questioning is the most powerful tool in a teaching repertoire. Being able to ask higher-level questions is a good way to differentiate in your class and challenge students. Using Bloom’s teachers can ask or write higher-level questions that will open up all sorts of avenues for rich dialogue, deep responses, and challenge your gifted students. It is more than just asking the right questions. It is about setting the culture in your classroom.
Questioning is one of the most important skills that a teacher must have in order to translate or decode those that are written in the books into a meaningful learning experience. It is skill that will illicit learners to think deeper and enhance their reasoning abilities. Thus, asking questions should not just be mere questioning it must a form a question that will allow the learners think out of the box answers and make meaning of their learning. Hence questions shout be HOTS or those questions that will enable learners higher order thinking skills. because the way to assimilate knowledge through allowing learners to connect the knowledge they have learned in the classroom into meaningful learning experiences that they may apply in the real world. Because learning must be directed towards holistic development of the child, it should allow him to develop a decision-making skill by way of developing his way of thinking, giving questions that will allow him to think deeper and give answers that will be more than the expected response to the problem.
This presentaion is about technique of quetioninhg.
Garbage in, garbage out, is a popular truth, often said in relation to computer systems: If you put the wrong information in, you’ll get wrong information out.
The same principle applies to Communications in general: If you ask the wrong questions, you’ll probably get the wrong answer, or at least not quite what you’re hoping for.
This presentation tries to inform about the nitty gritties of the skill of questioning.
In this section, we will provide some basic formats for putting plans into action. The first challenge is to match your teaching methods to your objectives.
The session is designed for Social Studies teachers. In this session, teachers will explore a variety of ways to introduce core concepts of citizenship education in their classrooms. The interactive ways of teaching citizenship education will help students in becoming active citizens at school and in the community.
The purpose of the session were
help teachers to understand the concept of citizenship education.
explore interactive ways to promote citizenship education in their classes.
design hands-on and mind-on activities to help children become active citizens.
Teaching and learning context changes from one to another. Teachers are required to adapt teaching strategies according to the children learning styles. That is why there is no ‘teaching prescription’ that could be given to teachers to follow. Therefore, It is necessary for teachers to continually reflect and critically evaluate their practices to become aware of the theory and motives behind and take deliberate action to develop (Gibbs, 1988)
The webinar will discuss reflective practice and strategies to practice reflection in the context of education.

The webinar will help Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) practitioners, to get an insight into how to make effective learning corners. It also discusses the required material that can be developed or used for these corners.
What is a good school? Is my school, a good school? Educators around the globe raise these questions. This webinar will attempt to answer these questions to help the school leadership to develop an enabling learning environment for students.
This webinar is the conclusion of sentence structure (https://youtu.be/KPv1k2ODtao) from the previous webinar.
Here the other two kinds (Compound and Complex Sentence Structure) of the structure are dealt with.
Creativity in learning and leadership has always been a hot topic in education. Creative leadership entails perceiving, thinking, and acting in novel ways to improve the life prospects of all pupils. In addition, creative leaders create the conditions, environment, and possibilities for others to be creative.
Butterfly effects for School Improvement
Changes come from the small initiative which works, initiatives which initiated, become the fashion (Charles Handy). The webinar will discuss activities and strategies which are smaller but have a larger impact on school improvement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. Wait & Think?
A study was once conducted to find out how teachers ask questions. This was
observed in a Grade 6 science class. A tape recorder was hidden under a
demonstration table. The teacher conducted a discussion of the lesson for
forty minutes.
She was able to ask 29 questions, all of which are of the “what” type. Maybe
they were all answered. They were simple recall.
Has the teacher developed the pupils’ thinking skills?
5. What is thinking?
It’s a cognitive activity, consciously using our brain to;
Thinking
Make sense
of
something
An idea
Activity
Process
information
Solve
problems
Make
decisions
6. What is higher order thinking?
A cognitive process in which students can analyze,
evaluate, create and interpret the text they are
reading at complex levels.
They can process text at deep levels, make
judgments, and detect shades of meaning.
They can make critical interpretations and
demonstrate high levels of insight and
sophistication in their thinking.
They are able to make inferences, draw relevant
and insightful conclusions, use their knowledge in
new situations, and relate their thinking to other
situations and to their own background knowledge.
7. For instance
higher order thinking be like..
Cooperative decision making (Evaluating)
Imagine a situation in which a plane crashes in
the ocean. There are a dozen survivors, all with
their own stories, but only one boat that can hold
no more than six people.
After hearing of each survivor's hopes, students
must work in groups to decide which survivors will
have a spot on the boat.
“Such a task inspires students to collaborate and
draw conclusions supported by evidences”
10. Why do we ASK questions?
1. For assessing cognition
-determine one’s knowledge and understanding
-promote high level thinking
Examples:
What is likely to happen if the ozone layer of the atmosphere continues to deteriorate?
Why does is sound heard louder when under water than out of it?
11. 2. For verification
-to determine the exactness or accuracy of the result of an activity or
performance,
Examples:
Was the weight of liquid displace exactly the same as the weight of object
immersed in it?
Is lightning seen before the thunder is heard?
Experiment if oxygen reacts with Hydrogen?
12. 3. For creative thinking
the question or the direction asks the pupils to present their own ideas or new
ways of doing things.
Examples:
How will you present the layers of the earth to your classmates?
How can you demonstrate soil less gardening?
Suggest ways to overcome global warming
13. 4. For evaluating
-to elicit responses that include judgment, value, and choice
-it also asks personal opinion about an event, a policy or a person
Examples:
Was your classmates’ slide presentation well done?
How do you reflect on the current political situation in your country?
14. 5. For productive thinking
-includes cognitive reasoning
-analyses facts,
-recognizes patterns or trends
-invokes memory and recall
Examples:
How can we apply the concept of the least common multiple in other
situations?
15. 6. For motivating
-to arouse the interest of students and focus attention
-situating the students in the right mood.
Examples:
How would you like to know how your favorite flower can remain fresh longer?
Did you ever train a pet?
Can perpendicular lines be intersecting lines?
16. Kind of questions LOTs & HOTs
The kind of questions we ask determine the level of thinking we develop.
LOTs (Lower Order Thinking) Skills
questions demands low level responses.
They require responses of the simple recall
or memory type answers.
Examples:
1. What was the temperature range
yesterday?
2. What insects transmit dengue fever?
3. What part of the plant serves as
reproduction?
HOTs (Higher order thinking Skills)
questions call for higher-level thinking ability. WHY
and HOW questions require analysis of observations.
The conclusion is arrived after weighing evidence or
establishing a pattern out of a recorded tabulation of
data.
Examples
1. Why does temperature continue to rise from early
morning till about noontime?
2. How does the water cycle occurs? And why it is
important?
Such questions request for information to inquire about
something
17. Planning questions
1. Decide on your purpose for asking questions. What is the intended learning
outcome? What do you want your students to learn by the end of the lesson?
Your purpose should help you determine what levels of questions you will ask.
2. Select the content for questioning. Choose material which you consider
important rather than trivial. Students will study and learn based on the
questions you ask. Do not mislead them by emphasizing less important material.
3. Ask questions that require an extended response or at least a "content"
answer.
4. Phrase your questions so that the task is clear to students.
18. Challenge your students
Avoid questions that can be answered "yes" or "no" unless you are going to
follow with more questions to explore reasoning. E.g. why do carbohydrates
are important for your body?
Your questions should not contain the answers. Avoid implied response
questions when you are genuinely seeking an answer from the class. A
question such as "Don't we all agree that the author of the
poem/article/lesson exaggerated the dangers of mountains to strengthen his
viewpoint?" will not encourage student response.
Until you are quite skilled at classroom questioning you should write your
main questions in advance. This is called "scripting." Arrange your list in
some logical sequence (specific to general, lower level to higher level (Blooms
Taxonomy), a sequence related to content). Having a prepared list of
questions will help to assure that you ask questions appropriate for your goals
and representative of the important material.
19. Create HOTs
Question STEM
+
What do you want them to know?
= HOT
Example
How would you improve…. STEM
Your dietary plan to weight lost/gain?
= How would you improve your dietary plan to weight loss? (Higher Order
Thinking) creating
20. Create HOTs (some examples)
Ask questions that help them process information:
How would you categorize ___? a virus?
What can we infer from ___? the two nation theory?
How would you summarize ___? the story? text? the role of ministers in democracy?
What was the moment from the story ___? that had greatest impact on you?
What conclusions can you draw___? from the discussion? Dialogue? Lesson?
Ask questions that require them to apply the information they’ve learned:
What would you predict ___? for Imtiaz’s future in the story?
How would you prioritize ___? your work?
How would you improve ____? your immune system to fight against the virus?
How could you prove or disprove __? that the stomata are underside of the leaf?
What evidence supports ___? the big bang theory?
Stem
Stem
21. Principles of questioning
Ask both simple and challenging questions, so that every student may participate.
Allow wait time but don’t exceed it from 30 sec
Avoid double barreled questions
Example of a double-barreled item:
Would you like to travel in Sukkur express at least 3 times a week.
If one disagrees with this statement, with which part does he or
she disagree? Does the person dislike travelling in Sukkur
express? Does the person not like to travel at all? Does he or she
travel only 1 day a week instead or 3?
Never interrupt a student who is attempting to answer
Do not ask more than one question during classroom discussion
Ensure audibility
Personalize questions (Pretend you are… what do you do?)
22. Avoid bias (e.g., age, ethnicity, gender or disabilities).
Avoid “loading” the questions by unintentionally incorporating
your own opinions into the items. This can bias the results and
is particularly important with attitudinal items.
Example of “loading”:
Is there any reason to keep this program?
Revised:
Does this program offer material not obtained in other
courses?
23. Be concise and be clear. Long, complex items can lead to confusion. Items should
challenge the students’ understanding, not the ability to uncover hidden meanings
Example
Student that are not taking a psychology course but are taking a psychology internship but
have not yet fulfilled the requirements of their practicum experience should come to
the seminar but not attend the training workshop.
Use the level appropriate vocabulary .
24. Strategies to use when students
RESPOND
1. Reinforcement: Make positive statements, use positive nonverbal
communication. Smile, node and maintain eye contact. Type of reinforcement
will be determined by:
The correctness of the answer
If a student gives an answer that is incorrect, the teacher may want to briefly
acknowledge the response, then think of ways to help the student provide a correct
answer. The teacher could use strategies such as probing, paraphrasing, or asking the
question in a different way.
The number of times a student has responded
Teacher may want to provide a student who has never responded in class with more
reinforcement than someone who responds often.
25. 2. Probing
Probes are useful in getting students more involved in critical analysis of their own
and other students' ideas.
Analyze a student's statement, make a student aware of underlying assumptions, or
justify or evaluate a statement.
E.g. Teacher: What are some ways we might reduce air pollution? Student: The government should close all the factories
producing smoke. Teacher: How it will affect a common man on your suggestion?
Help students deduce relationships. Teachers may ask students to judge the implications
of their statements or to compare and contrast concepts.
E.g. Teacher: What are some advantages and disadvantages of having grades given in courses? Student 1: Grades can be a
motivator for students to learn. Student 2: Too much pressure on grades causes some students to stop learning. Teacher: If
both of those statements are true, what generalizations can you make about the relationship between motivation and
learning?
Have students clarify or elaborate on their comments by asking for more information.
E.g.
Teacher: Could you please develop your ideas further? Can you provide an example of that concept?
26. 3. Adjust/refocus
When a student provides a response that appears out of context, the teacher
can refocus to encourage the student to tie her response to the content being
discussed.
27. Strategies to use when students DON’T
RESPOND
1. Redirect
When a student responds to a question, the teacher can ask another student to
comment on his/her statement. E.g. Teacher: Ali, do you agree with Akber's
comment?
Teacher: From your experience, Aisha, does what Mussa said, said true/right?
Teacher: Muneeb, can you give me an example of the concept that Ayesha mentioned?
2. Rephrasing
This technique is used when a student provides an incorrect response or no response.
The instructor can try to reword the question to make it clearer.
The question may have been poorly phrased. Teacher: What is
photosynthesis? Student: (No response) Teacher: How does a plant prepare its food?
The instructor can provide some information to help students come up with the answer.
The instructor can break the question down into more manageable parts.
28. 3. Using “wait time”
One factor that can have powerful effects on student participation is the
amount of time a teacher pauses between asking a question and doing
something else (calling on a student or rewording the question).
29. Strategies for responding to student questions
Listen to the student's question. After you are certain that you understand the
question, be sure that other students have heard and understood the question.
Then proceed with one of the following strategies:
1. Answer the question yourself.
2. Redirect the question to the class.
3. Attempt to help the student answer his own question.
4. Ask the student to stop after class to discuss the question.
5. Refer the student to a resource where s/he can find the answer.
30. Take away
“A good teacher makes you think even when
you don’t want to”
(Fisher, 1998, Teaching Thinking)
