Blog Post #4 What question do we ask? How do we ask?

As the teachers in the future, we surely know that questioning students while teaching can engage students and make the class more interesting in the lesson.What are the right ways to ask questions in the classroom? Basically,after the teachers have taught a concept, the teachers could ask," Does anybody understand or have any question about the lesson?". If the teacher would like for his or her students get engage in the lesson, he or she needs to ask question while teaching.Before the class start, teacher needs to prepared for questions that he or she will asks while teaching instead spends most of his or her time on powerpoint.

Typically,when a teacher asks question and gets correct answers,he or she will move on to the next subject. However, play with question is a better way for students to keep their minds continue thinking about different answers or ideas for that question. Nevertheless, a teacher should ask such questions that helps students practice their skill,communicate with the facts and ideas for the lesson's goals. Specially, a teacher needs to ask clear and specific question to make sure that students understand what is the question about. Usually, a teacher could not ask more than one question at once because most of students confuse which question they should answer. Therefore, a teacher should pauses five to seven seconds after asking question for students to answer it. Do not interrupt students' answers even it is wrong answer. As the teachers, we need to keep students learning by ask them explain their thought and get better answer for it.

There are two types of question:

Open questions is a question has more than one answer and all answer could be possible to the right concept.For example,"Can you explain this concept in your own words? There is no right or wrong answer for this question.

Closed questions is a question has only one answer and either "yes" or "no". For example, what many hour a day? There is only one answer for that question.

  1. Ms. Nguyen I can amend you own your facts you gave about questions teachers should ask students. Its extremely important that kids be engaged in class. I can infer to you that as a teacher, we can not ask question that are difficult and confusing to kids. I can strongly agree with you about waiting 5 to 7 seconds before addressing the kids about a question you have ask. It was also critical that a teacher should not ask 2 questions at the same time. I really can understand you on that statement. Making kids think and have great communication skills is great for answering questions from teachers. If a question is answered with yes or no, kids should explain why they stated that answer. Kids who do not answer questions should be asked to give their thoughts on what they classmates answered.
