What is questioning?
The way in which questions are asked to enhance
the student's decision making, problem solving, and
critical thinking skills. Stay away from simple one
answer responses and format each question to
benefit the childs learning.
Implementing question
Try asking this: What did you like about the story we read today
in class?
Instead of this: Did you like the story we ready today in class?
What is self-questioning?
Self-questioning is a branch of the questioning
strategy that I would like to mention. I find that it
is essential for students doing homework or who
are not in the classroom to be able to ask and
answer their own questions. The way questions are
worded and approached can help with all
characteristics children with learning disabilities as
well as autism posses. And when these children,
even general education students, are beginning to
be able to ask questions with that amount of detail
they are benefitting their education in immense
ways.
