Techniques involved in
Questioning
Ask the
questions to whole class:-
Teacher need to ask the whole class
while asking question. Asking to only
one student or to particular group only
those will remain active, think and
ready to respond. but if the teacher ask
question to whole class, the whole
class will ready to respond.
Proportionate distribution of
question:-
Teacher should ask question
to different student. It is wrong if the
teacher repeatedly ask questions to
some child or particular group of
children. Mostly teachers ask question
to intelligent students and get correct
answer. It is teacher who has to see that
no students should remain unlearnt.
Wait time:-
Every students should be
given time to answer. Wait time is the
mental activity when students think,
recall, analyses, compare, evaluate,
synthesis, process information in mind.
One time at a time:-
Sometime in
fluency of lecture, explanation,
describing situation teacher ask more
than one question at a time. It confuse
teacher and reduce effectiveness at
questioning.
•
Sequencing of questions:-
The teacher
should start with simple questions to then
move to difficult ones. Once the students
answers the simple questions then complex
question should be asked.
•
Repetition of questions:-
Generally, the
questions are not repeated again and again.
But if the students are not able to answer
any question, the from of question or the
language of the question should be
moulded so that students can able to
understand the question and answer it.
•
Change in structure:-
Change in
structure may lead to change in
meaning. This may confuse learner.
Before changing the structure the
teacher should the level and class of
the students.
•
Avoid excessive question:-
The
teacher should not ask excess
questions. More questions will make
the learners confused about the text.
Cover back benchers:-
The teacher
should not focus on back benchers only.
But the teacher should ask equal
proportion of questions to back
benchers.
Proper communication:-
Like other
teaching techniques, questioning also
demands adequate communication. For
this, he need to have proper eye contact.
Reinforcement:-
The teacher should ask questions
respectfully with pleasant gestures. If any children
ask wrongly, the teacher should not scold him/her
rather than the teacher should motivate him/her to
answer it correctly next time.
Speed of questioning:-
The teacher should ask
questions in a uniform pattern. The teacher’s speed
of questioning neither too slow nor too fast. The
children must understand the question as well as
answer.
Use pauses:-Using silence is a powerful way of
delivering questions. The teacher should take some
pause within the questions so that students should
understand the previous one and get themselves for
the next one.
