Questioning in the Classroom
- After asking a question, wait for a response.
- Ask only one question at a time.
- Collect several answers to your question, even if the first student to answer gives a perfect response.
- When student questions are desired, request them explicitly, wait, and then acknowledge student contributions.
- Indicate to students that questions are not a sign of stupidity
- Let students try out their answers by quickly discussing them in pairs
- Use a variety of probing and explaining questions.
