Questioning can help maintain engagement, and encourages preperation 

The Socratarian method of questioning deals with finding better ways to answer difficult questions.  This is entirely another way of saying that all questions should be taken seriously when we really consider the question.  It is common sence, explained for the multitudes!

learned using proper questions can engage students and allow students to participate.

I found the comparison of the Socratic Method and critical thinking to be both informative and interesting. 

I have experimented with using the Socratic method with some success--this information will help me practice specific kinds of questions to deepen students' understanding in class

Great suggestions and strategies for guiding questions! 

I like the idea of having another student answer a question directed at the teacher. I think it allows the more advanced students to show their knowledge and stay more engaged. 

It is important to formulate the right questions so students can think about the information which in turns fosters greater discussions and interactions. 

Questioning is a type of communication and there is an art form to it.  Questions must be at the appropriate level for the class and worded properly.  

 

its a good way to keep learners engaged. 

Ask questions! Ask all types of questions! Questions encourage discussions, discussions encourage participation, participation leads to a better learning experience

Very informative session. It has helped me to view questions in a new light. I will definitely be implementing some more Q&A in my sessions with students. Also, how to accept and encourage responses to questions - great insight!

Reinforce student responses even when it's not the answer you're looking for.  

Thank you for the examples of how to respond to students when the answer is partially correct or not correct at all. I sometimes fumbled when this happened, so having these examples is helpful. 

Questioning technique encourage the students to be more confident to participate in the conversation which was very helpful to know how to ask question, when to ask and the way of asking question.

I learned about us of the Socratic method of teaching. This method encourages students to explore answers to questions.

This lesson gave me new insights into the ways to use questions to invoke deeper understanding; for example, using the Socratic method of inquiry or asking questions for clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic or significance.

What are the characteristics of a good question?

I have learnt that I mustn't ask too broad questions... otherwise students will not answer in fear of giving a wrong answer..  

Offering students the opportunity to ask questions in non-public settings may increase responses.
