ED 114

I really enjoyed this course. I learned quite a bit about how I can improve my class participation. I particularly enjoyed the "tips" portion of this course. These are tactics I use everyday in class and, I now feel, that I can be more effective in the way I probe, redirect, and praise my students.

Ramona,

I'm glad you ejoyed the course. Questioning is an essential part of teaching and it does promote more interaction.

I really enjoyed it also. I thought that it was way more technical than prior classes and I was really surprised of the types and classifications of open questions there are. Definitely techniques that will carry over into my classroom. Thank you.

Carolyn,

I am glad you enjoyed this course. We all need tools to improve our profession and I enjoy the feedback I receive from participants, especially when I am able to learn new techniques.

I also found this class to be very helpful. I often noticed that my students would let the more knowledgeable students answers the questions, but now I have learned a way to get the insecure students to answer the question by redirecting or probing the students to answer.

Cassandra,

I am glad that you found this lesson useful. Good luck with using these techniques.

I am familiar with the various types of questions and their different cognitive levels, as well as, the research related to wait time. I found the section related to asking procedural questions the most helpful. I must admit that I am guilty of asking such questions that are not worded in the most useful manner to encourage student responses. I really like the way the same questions were re-worded in a non-threatening manner to encourage student responses. I certainly plan to implement the revise form of asking procedural questions in my class. Thanks!

Jeff,

I'm glad you found this useful. I have found that it is not only in these, but all communications with students need to be worded appropriately, even comments on papers. I have gotten into the habit of checking and rechecking my comments to see if they could be offensive in any way.
