• What different functions do teachers’ questions serve?
• Which types of questions are asked frequently?• What common mistakes may be made when
asking questions?

Think – pair- share
Discuss together:• Different kinds of questions• Functions of questions• Questions used most often• Common mistakes and their
effects

Reasons for asking questions
• To interest, engage and challenge;• To assess prior knowledge and understanding;• To stimulate recall, in order to create new understanding and
meaning;• To focus thinking on the most important concepts and issues;• To help students extend their thinking from the factual to the
analytical;• To promote reasoning, problem solving, evaluation and the
formation of hypotheses;• To promote students’ thinking about the way they have
learned;• To help students to see connections.

Research conclusions
Read the extract from the work of Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam “Inside the Black Box Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment. In this they present the results of their extensive survey of the literature into assessment in education. They found that much of this focuses on classroom assessment by teachers of pupils’ learning. In relation to questioning they conclude that the literature suggests…

Common mistakes
• Asking too many trivial or irrelevant questions.• Asking a question and answering it yourself.• Simplifying the question when students don’t immediately respond.• Asking questions of only the most able or likeable students.• Asking several questions at once.• Asking only closed questions that allow one right/wrong possible answer.• Asking ‘guess what is in my head’ questions, where you know the answer
you want to hear and you ignore or reject answers that are different.• Judging every student response with ‘well done’, ‘nearly there’ ‘not quite’.
‘Well done’ can discourage alternative ideas being offered.• Not giving students time to think or discuss before responding.• Ignoring incorrect answers and moving on.
