Questioning - Top Ten Strategies

Questioning - Top Ten Strategies
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to not stop questioning.” – Albert Einstein Questioning is the very cornerstone of philosophy and education, ever since Socrates ( in our Western tradition) decided to annoy pretty much everyone by critiquing and harrying people with questions – it has been central to our development of thinking and our capacity to learn. Indeed, it is so integral to all that we do that it is often overlooked when developing pedagogy – but it as crucial to teaching as air is to breathing. We must ask: do we need to give questioning the thought and planning time something so essential to learning obviously deserves? Do we need to consciously teach students to ask good questions and not just answer them? Most research indicates that as much as 80% of classroom questioning is based on low order, factual recall questions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Q1. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Added Extras: Like this: Like Loading...

Dans un conflit, les protagonistes se servent de l’objet comme d’une balle de ping pong donc le conflit est destructeur sur le contenu ( parfois il conduit l’entreprise à une impossibilité de fonctionner). Une relation improductive alimente la souffrance au travail.

Questioning The start of a new term is nearly upon us and I am going in revitalised due to a number of life changes. One aspect of getting back into the classroom and school environment is to listen to the great array of questions, challenges and responses I'll hear and be involved in. I love questioning and the potential depth to thinking it can generate. However far to often including in my own practice I prevent opportunities for taking the thinking deeper by posing a new challenge, problem to keep that engaging thrust of something new flowing in the room. This is good a trigger but like a gun firing the trigger too often at the same target can lead to the death of something. In this case deep thinking that challenges students. So how about a strategy. So what are the question Socratic circle questioning poses? It is a 6 step process: • clarify • challenge assumption • evidence for argument • viewpoints and perspectives • implications and consequences • question the question

Ten Things I've Learned in Going Project-Based It's a few days before Christmas and I expect a challenge. Students will be checked-out or hyper. However, to my surprise, they are fully engaged in a project that combines reading, writing, global awareness and critical thinking. I've mentioned before that this year has been challenging. However, I am realizing that my students excel when I approach a subject with a project-based framework. Here are some things I've learned over the last few years as I've transitioned toward a more project-based approach: Students need to be a part of the planning process.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a parlor game based on the "six degrees of separation" concept, which posits that any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart. That idea eventually morphed into this parlor game, wherein movie buffs challenge each other to find the shortest path between an arbitrary actor and prolific Hollywood character actor Kevin Bacon. It rests on the assumption that any individual involved in the Hollywood, California, film industry can be linked through his or her film roles to Kevin Bacon within six steps. The game requires a group of players to try to connect any such individual to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible. History[edit] The trio wrote a letter to talk show host Jon Stewart, telling him that "Kevin Bacon was the center of the entertainment universe" and explaining the game.[2] They appeared on The Jon Stewart Show and The Howard Stern Show with Bacon to explain the game.

le moulleau : Fatras en bleu C’est en 19 . . . que Pauline Marchicourt, lassée de la vie parisienne, pose définitivement ses malles à Arcachon. Il faut lui reconnaître que ses dix dernières années dans la capitale comblées d’honneurs, de rencontres, d’évènements tous plus festifs les uns que les autres, lui avaient donné à penser sur la vanité de l’existence. Elle arriva donc anonymement au bord du bassin, bien décidée à se tenir éloignée du ramdam du Tout Paris avec lequel elle s’était décidé à couper définitivement.. C’était sans compter avec les amis qui la retrouvèrent, dans sa petite maison de l’arrière Moulleau, avenue Saint François Xavier, et qui aussitôt, s’invitèrent pour y renouveler les facéties et fêtes parisiennes. Mais Pauline tint bon et éconduisit les importuns. …Quelques temps. Quand Marcelle Chantal, qui avait acquis une belle et discrète propriété au Pyla découvrit que Pauline était à deux pas de chez elle, elle ne fit ni une ni deux, et débarqua. Marcelle Chantal Pauline dut vite renoncer à sa paix provinciale Gide, et

Making best use of exam questions I have written before about Diagnostic Questions. A good diagnostic question can reveal a lot about a student’s thinking. Many of the questions we have written for the York Science Project have drawn on research evidence to provide the alternative answers that students might select. When preparing diagnostic questions for GCSE classes there are two other rich sources of alternative answers that have been given by students – the Mark Scheme and the Report to Centres. Recently I spent some time with OCR GCSE Science teachers developing diagnostic questions in this way. Here is an example. This question part of question 2 on the OCR GCSE Science Gateway B711/02 (higher tier paper) in June 2012. In the Report to Centres the Principal Examiner for the paper wrote : “Just less than half the candidates gained the mark…… The most common correct answer was dehydration. The mark scheme for the question was this: Or you could put the answers into a confidence grid: Notice the headings for the columns.

Teaching and Maintaining Ethical Behavior in a Professional Organization The 20%: Questioning Part 2 | M J Bromley's Blog This is Part Two of a new 2-part blog exploring effective questioning in the classroom. Part One is available here.In a previous post I talked about the Pareto Principle. I suggested we should focus on improving the 20% of classroom strategies which research shows yield 80% of results. In other words, we should focus on practising those interventions which most expedite student progress.I have already written about the role feedback can play.Now I turn my attention to questioning… Questions are bread-and-butter stuff for teachers, a way of extending students’ learning, fostering a sense of curiosity, and assessing the progress being made (or not) by our students. But, as we learnt in Part One of this blog, not all questions are equal… So far we have looked at the art of asking questions: at what type of question to ask and how to deal with the answer. To improve the use of classroom dialogue, our classrooms have to become more interactive. 2. Click here to read Part One of this blog.
