Questioning Strategy:
A question is any sentence which has an
interrogative form or function. In classroom settings,Teacher questions are defined as
instructional cues or stimuli that convey to students the content elements to
be learned and directions for what they are to do and how they are to do it. Through questions one can creates a life long learning, independent learner. Mainly there are three types of questions, Blooms taxonomy, Socratic questioning and Kipling questioning.
1.Blooms taxonomy:
- Creating:-generating new ideas,producing, or the way of viewing things./organizing thoughts, ideas and information from the content.
- Evaluating:-justifying a decision or course of an action.
- Analyzing:- breaking information into parts to explore understanding and relationship.
- Applying:-using information in another familiar situation.
- Understanding:-explaining idea or the concept.
- Remembering:-recalling information.
2.Socratic questioning:
Conceptual clarification questions:-
Get them to think more about what exactly they are asking or thinking about.
Prove the concepts behind their argument. Basic 'tell me more' questions that
get them to go deeper.
Why are you saying that?
What exactly does this
mean?
Probing assumptions:-
Probing of assumptions makes them think about the presuppositions and
unquestioned beliefs on which they are founding their argument. This is shaking
the bedrock and should get them really going!
What else could we assume?
You seem to be assuming
... ?
Probing rationale, reasons and evidence:-
When they give a rationale for their arguments, dig into that reasoning
rather than assuming it is a given. People often use weakly understood supports for their arguments
Why is that happening?
How do you know this?
Questioning viewpoints and perspectives:-
Most arguments are given from a particular position. So attack the position.
Show that there are other, equally valid, viewpoints.
Another way of looking at
this is ..., does this seem reasonable?
What alternative ways of looking at this are
there?
Probe implications and consequences:-
The argument that they give may have logical implications that can be
forecast. Do these make sense? Are they desirable?
Questions about the question:-
Refreshed the question they have asked and asked them back.
3.Kipling questioning:
In this questioning there are 5W(what,why,when,who and where) and 1H(how).
