Art of Questioning

-->

What are the various uses of question in the modern classroom? Teacher makes a question based on the descriptive categories of function, namely: cognitive memory questions, convergent questions, divergent questions, and evaluation question. The teacher must consider the high level and low level of questions for the students, to moderate and stimulate them to think.

Questions are one of the teaching tools conveniently placed in the hands of a teacher. This is also helpful in determining the difficulties of students in any lesson. To be able to use questioning for any of these purposes effectively, the teacher should know the characteristics of a good question, the techniques of questioning as well as handling pupils/students responses and questions.
