| Description: |
This course invites graduate students of all disciplines to explore the many roles questions can take in the classroom and some of the ways we can provoke good questions and answers from our students by asking good questions ourselves.
Topics will include:
- formulating questions at different levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain (from repetition and recognition through synthesis, evaluation, and creation)
- the role of wait time in productive questioning and learning
- the multiple pedagogical roles questions can address (for teaching inquiry, stimulating discussion, or student and course assessment)
- modes for answering questions (oral, written, group, visual, formal, informal)
- creating questions to elicit responses from students with different types of intelligences
- the needs of learners at different levels of proficiency for different types of questions
Participants will read several research articles about questions, participate in discussions, and apply the ideas raised in the course to generate test, homework, and discussion questions for their own subject area classes.
