§ On average, a teacher asks 400 questions/day (one third of their time) § Most questions are answered in less than one second (Hastings 2003) § 60% recall facts and 20% are procedural (Hattie 2012) § Most student answers are right or wrong

§ 1. Modelling effective questioning is critical to nurturing your students own ability to question § 2. Good questions extend thinking/improve learning & build metacognition, relevance, interest § 3. Questioning is a key competency (skill set ) in the Victoria curriculum

§ A key strand in the critical and creative thinking curriculum

§ Explore different question types and their intent § Suspend judgment to consider new possibilities § Test the effectiveness of questions in different contexts § Look at different question elements eg. factual, temporal, conceptual § Explore reactions to questions and how that might change future questioning § Similarly students cannot understand concepts or make decisions/take actions (ethical capability) without asking questions § Nor communicate effectively (Personal & social capability) etc.

On a sticky note: § Write down one divergent question(open/thought provoking) you had recently asked your students? § The subject area, year level § What was the intent of that question? e. g explore perspectives/possibilities, make connections, apply learning to another context etc. How is Kat (from the Hunger Games text) treated like a slave?
