DAY 2 : RAISING SENSIBLE QUESTIONS

Open Ended

What is Effective Questioning and Why is it Useful?

EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING

Effective questioning involves using questions to open conversations, inspire deeper intellectual thought, and promote interaction. It focuses on eliciting the process, i.e. the ‘how’ and ‘why,’ as opposed to answers which just detail ‘what.’ Using effective questions in the classroom creates opportunities for students to analyze their own thinking, that of their peers, and their work.

Benefits of Effective Questioning

•  Encourages someone to engage with their work and each other.

•  Helps someone to think out loud.

• Facilitates learning through active discussion.

•  Empowers someone to feel confident about their ideas.

• Improves speaking and listening skills

•  Builds critical thinking skills

• Teaches respect for other people’s opinions.

• Helps someone to clarify their understanding

• Motivates someone and develops an interest of a topic

• Allows someone to check others’ understanding

MORE OF EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING

Asking questions brings numerous advantages. To name one, it makes you an active listener, a person involved in your learning who can connect what you heard or read with what you already know.
