Conclusion
The Questions That Gather Information module introduced you to questioning techniques designed to enhance student understanding and learning. Identifying the best questioning strategies to use while developing student inquires can guide students' thinking and encourage the process of gathering information. In addition, teaching students to ask their own questions and respond to one another serves to further their understanding.
Think back to your initial responses to the questions below. After completing this module, do you still agree with your initial responses? What would you change or add to your initial responses?
- How could the use of basic questioning advance student learning?
- How could the use of specific questioning strategies foster students' understanding of content?
- How could student-led inquiry-based approaches impact student understanding?
