Basic Questioning Techniques by Ana Olvera. Based on "Effective Questioning and Classroom Talk".
  1. Why the "Skill of Probing Questions" is part of the Micro Teaching Techniques?
    1. Because "Probing Questions" helps the pupils to think in depth and understand the subject deeply.
      1. How is the process to increase the level of challange when asking questions?
        1. Teachers must: a) PRE_PLAN and PREPARE their 'open' and 'high-challange' questions. b) PRE-DETERMINE the level and type of challange and who they will target.
          1. Move them from simple responses to engage in more develop HOTS (Higer Order Thinking Skills) and PLTS (Personal Learning and Thinking Skills)
    2. What are some examples of Questioning Approaches?
      1. Thinking Time: wait (15-30 secs) to ensure student's opinion.
        1. Time Out: provide time for thinking.
          1. "No hands up": ask Q to selected Ss.
            1. Basketball questioning: movement of ideas and responses around the class.
              1. Conscripts and volunteers: Ss respond equally.
                1. Phone a friend: S nominates a pupil before his/her own.
                  1. Hot-seating: S placed in the 'hot-seat' answers from class and T.
                    1. Mantle of the expert: S wears the cloak to answer Qs as an expert.
                      1. Preview: Qs are viewd in advance.
                        1. Pair rehearsal: Ss answer in pairs.
                          1. Eavesdropping: listen discussions and target specific Qs.
                            1. 5Ws: T models the use of Who, What, Where, When and Why.
                              1. High Challange: Q must be pre-planned to analysis, synthesis, evaluation and creativity (Bloom's Taxonomy, 1956).
                                1. Staging or Sequencing: moving from low to high-order questioning.
                                  1. Big Questions: set at the beginning of the class and answered at the end.
                                    1. Focus Questioning: T models the thinking's steps by focused Qs.
                                      1. Fat Questions: Ss give extended answer (+15 words).
                                        1. Skinny Qestions: Ss answer 'yes' or 'no' to check comprehension.
                                          1. Signal Questions: T provides and responds by signaling and guiding the answer.
                                            1. Seek a partial answer: T asks a pupil difficult whole class Qs for a partly formed answer.
                                              1. Developing 'KEY' Qs: S identifies Qs that should be asked.
                                                1. SCAMER: devised by American Bob Eberle. It's useful for creative writing and stimulus for a role play.
