What do we need to know about asking questions to be an effective teacher?
As teachers we have to quit assuming that we know everything. We are not made to know everything and that is why we have to find the right questions to ask. I believe the most effective type of questioning is Open Questioning. Open Questioning gives students the opportunity to engage with other students and differentiate their own opinions and thoughts. Through research I have found that there are four different categories for questioning in the classroom and I have listed them below.
The major types of questions fall into four categories:
Managerial: questions which keep the classroom operations moving
Rhetorical: questions used to emphasize a point or to reinforce an idea or statement;
Closed: questions used to check retention or to focus thinking on a particular point; and
Open: questions used to promote discussion or student interaction
