Description
Questions, questions, questions! They are a large part of a teacher’s stock-in-trade. We use questions to help students review, to check on comprehension, to stimulate critical thinking, to encourage creativity, to emphasize a point, to control classroom activities, reduce disruptive behavior, to help determine grades, to encourage discussion, to discourage inattentiveness, and for other reasons and purposes. Questioning style and content varies from teacher to teacher, student group to student group, and situation to situation.
The aim of this "How to…" booklet is to help you focus on a common teaching activity—the asking of questions. To illustrate some of the classifications and concepts discussed, excerpts from a videotaped lesson to third graders on magnetism appears at the end of this booklet.
Ideas For Use
This booklet includes some methods which can be used to analyze current questioning strategies and suggests some techniques for developing variety in the kinds of questions you ask.

Great Review of Open Ended Questioning |

Most of the information I have heard before, but a long time ago, so this book was a great short review of how to approach open ended questions and when to use them. |

Used as Textbook for Pre-Service Class |

Frankly I was suprized as how well received this book was by students in my pre-service elementary education class. I had thought that questioning skills was going to be a topic that wouldn't generate much interest. The text is concisely written with a strong research basis. It gave my pre-service teachers a good resource and they noted the need for more science education research. It was a nice springboard into discussing the need for action research by teachers. |
