instruction
“I know you won’t
belive me, but the
highest form of human
Excellence is to ask
question one self and
others.”

In lab setting, make sure
students not begin the
work until the discussion
is finish.
2.Instructor Attitude
“Attending Behavior” : What
teacher does while a students
answer a question.
#Listen
#encourage
#helping (attention)
Strategies:

Maintain eye contact

Nonverbal gestures

Listen to the students

Be active listener:
Wait for a second
Paraphrase the long answer
Lead another question from the others
questions
Ask for more explanation if you don’t
understand
Listen for content
3. Calling on students to Maximize
Participation

Calling name _positive climate

Ask questions to entire class

Phrase question first then call name

Try to avoid repetition from students respond

Beware of students who dominate the class

Avoid looking down at notes

Nonverbal compliment verbal responses
4) Wait -time
Amount of time an instructor pauses between
asking a question and doing something else
Research on classroom questioning and
information processing indicates that students
need at least three seconds to comprehend a
question, consider the available information,
formulate an answer and begin to respond

Student Response
Teacher Reaction
PAUSE
3-5 sec
After teachers were trained to allow three to five seconds of
wait-time the following significant changes in their
classrooms occurred:

The number of students who failed to respond when called
on decreased

The number of unsolicited but appropriate responses
increased

The length of student responses increase

The number of student to student interactions increased

The number of student questions increased
Much wait time can also be detrimental to student
interaction.
Experts say that waiting more than 20-30 seconds is
perceived as punishing by students.
The amount of wait-time needed in part depends upon the
level of question the instructor asks and student
characteristics such as familiarity with content and past
experience with the thought process required.
Lower level questions require less wait-time (only three
seconds). Higher level questions may require five seconds or more.

Skill of Probing
Questions
SKILL OF PROBING QUESTIONS
 When the teacher asks questions from the
pupils in his class different situations arise.
They are
 :1.The pupil may give no response,
 2.The pupil may give incorrect,
 3.The pupil may give partially correct
response and
 4.The pupil may give correct response.
How to deal with all these situations effectively
is the main theme of this skill. In case of no
response or incorrect response the teacher
goes deep into pupil's responses by asking
many questions about what
Handling Student Responses
When an instructor asks a question, students can
either respond, ask a question or give no response.
Recommended questioning strategies:

Reinforcement

Probe

Refocus

Redirect

Rephrase
Components of Skill
1Prompting technique
2Seeking further information
technique.
4.Refocusing technique.
3.Redirection technique
5.Increasing critical awareness
technique
Prompting (P)
This technique means to go deep into
the pupil’s response when it is incorrect
or no response. Then a series of hints
or prompts are given to pupil through
step by step questioning in order to
lead the pupil to the desired correct
response. Let us take the following
example.
Example
T :What are the
functions of
Municipality ?
P : No response.
T : Who supplies water
to the city ?
P : Municipality.
Seeking Further Information(S.F.I.)
This technique is used when the response
of pupil is incomplete or partially correct.
The teacher helps the pupil to clarify or
elaborate or explain his initial response
by asking more small questions or
creating situation in which the pupil is
made to think and respond
Example
T : What are the functions of
Municipality ?
P : To supply water to the
whole city.
T : What are the other
functions ?
Redirection (RD)
This technique involves asking the same question
from another pupil. The main purpose of this
technique is to increase more and more pupil
participation. When the situations of no
response or incorrect response prompting
should be preferred to redirection.
 Example
T : What are the characteristic of oxygen ?
Ram : No response
 Sohan : It helps burning (Redirection)
Redirection Technique (RD)

When a student responds to
question, the instructor can ask
another student to comment on his
statement.
Example :
1)
Instructor : Linda, do you agree with
Ain’s comment?
2) Instructor : Sha, can you give me an
example of the concept that
amy mentioned?
Refocusing (RF)
 It is used when the pupil’s response is
correct. This involves comparing the
phenomena in his response with other
phenomena either for similarity/difference
or relationship between the two situations.
How one thing in point is different from the
other thing ? How one response of the pupil
is related to any other point ? How one
thing is similar to another thing ? Such type
of questions are to the pupil.
Refocus

When a student provides a response
which appears out of context the instructor
can refocus to encourage the student to tie her
response to the content being discussed.
Example :
Instructor :What does it mean to devalue the
dollar?
Student 1 : Um….I’m not really sure, but doesn’t it mean
that, um, like say last year the dollar could
buy a certain amount of goods and this year it
could buy less.. does that mean it devalued?
Instructor : Well, let’s talk a little bit about another concept
and that is inflation. Does inflation affect your
dollar that way?
Increasing Critical Awareness(I.C.A.)
This technique is used when the pupil’s response is
correct. The teacher puts higher order questions to
stimulate the pupil to think beyond what the pupil
knows. This in valves the ‘how’ and ‘why’ and
sometimes ‘what’ type of questions on the point under
discussion.
Example

1.Why oxygen is necessary for living beings ?

2.How oxygen helps in burning ?
Example: Questions that Probe Reasons and Evidence
•
What would be an example?
•
How do you know?
•
Why do you think that is true?
•
Do you have any evidence for that?
•
What difference does that make?
•
What are your reasons for saying that?
•
What other information do you need?
•
Could you explain your reasons to us?
•
Are these reasons adequate?
•
Why do you say that?
•
What led you to that belief?
Example
•
What do you mean by ____?
•
What is your main point?
•
How does _____ relate to _____?
•
Could you put that another way?
•
Is your basic point _____ or _____?
•
What do you think is the main issue here?
•
Let me see if I understand you; do you mean _____ or _____?
•
How does this relate to our problem/discussion/issue?
•
What do you, Mike, mean by this remark? What do you take Mike to mean by
his remark?
•
Jane, can you summarize in your own words what Richard said? . . . Richard, is
this what you meant?
Responding to
Student Questions

Listen to student’s question
- Strategies from this point include:

Answer the question yourself
-
Best when have little time remaining in class
-
Disadvantage: do not encourage student-tostudent interaction

Redirect the question to the class
-
Encourage student-to-student interaction

Attempt to help student answer his own question

If you don’t know the answer to a student question NEVER
FAKE AN ANSWER. Admit that you cannot answer the
question and then select one of these strategies:
-
Ask whether someone in the class can answer the question.
-
If possible, suggest a resource where the student can find
information
-
Volunteer to find answer yourself and report back to the
class.
Teacher
Questioning

The type of questions teachers ask should depend on
the students with whom they are working with and the
type of educational objectives they are trying to
achieve.

Whether teachers should ask more higher-order or
lower-order questions depends on their instructional
objectives.
Teacher should consider three guidelines
when deciding how difficult to make
questions:

A large proportion of a teacher’s questions should
be at a level that will elicit correct answers from
students in the class.

One-fourth of the questions should be at a level of
difficulty that will elicit some response from
students, even if the response is incomplete.

No question should be so difficult that students will
not be able to respond at all
