Different Types of Questioning Techniques Sample Clauses

Different Types of Questioning Techniques. One example of a questioning technique is tests and quizzes. These include an immediate mastery test on the subject material that was covered, which will increase students’ learning. (▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1988) This allows students to retain almost twice as much information, both factual and conceptual, after eight weeks. (▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1988) The whole idea of Kahoot is based on this technique. Another category of questioning techniques are student-generated questions. Each week there is one class period that is devoted to answering open-ended, student-generated questions on any aspect of the course. (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, 1991) Each question requires a brief explanation why they consider the question important. Then the class arranges the questions in terms of general interest. Afterwards the instructor lectures on as many topics as the time allows. The drawback of this method is the lack of control that the instructor has and the risk that they may lack expertise in the topics that students want to discuss or a lack of student participation. A way to avoid this is to try to have a more structured approach. For example, students could submit written questions before the next class period. (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 1986)
