Questioning as a teaching technique can stimulate critical thinking and engage students actively in the learning process. I have learned that the Socratic method, inspired by Socrates, is a powerful approach in discussion (suggested for case studies). It involves asking thought-provoking, open-ended questions to guide students to discover answers themselves rather than providing direct information. Overall, I intend to use questioning as a tool in promoting active learning and critical thinking among my students.
To apply this session's topic, I intend to incorporate more open-ended questions in my teaching, encouraging students to explore concepts deeply and articulate their thoughts. I'll also use the Socratic method to facilitate discussions (when applicable) and using strategic questions in each session to foster a collaborative and inquiry-based learning environment. This approach not only enhances comprehension but also helps students develop problem-solving and communication skills while being engaged with the class material. Additionally, I intend to be mindful of using questions at various cognitive levels to cater to different learning stages.
