I enjoyed Ben Johnson's article for how teacher ask question and the remedy he gave for improvement. The remedy I will hold in memory, when in the classroom, ask a question, pause for three seconds then say a student name to answer the question. Johnson's points out this will make the other students think and have a better learning attitude because I've shown I may call anyone.
Composed specific questions are what educators should ask also. These questions should be what you want to know the student comprehended from a subject or what you think the student might ask you. Ask good questions.
Finally ask opened questions and questions where class participation is required in answering the question.
A beginning.
ReplyDeleteHi Edna!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed Johnson's article on asking questions in the classroom. As I stated in my blog post, I hadn't realized the questions we ask our students could be so important. I like the idea of asking a question, then calling on a random student. It allows every student to try and develop an answer just in case their name is called.
The only advice I have for your blog post is to go more in depth with your response to these articles. Maybe give examples of what an open-ended question is as opposed to a close ended.
Also, we are suppose to create a link to the articles that we read on our blog posts. Good luck!
