we need expand the learning of our students by broadening their general thinking and to think outside of the box by asking Questions.
I absolutely agree. As instructors, our responsibility is to broaden the learning horizons of our students.
Hi James - The teaching that you describe is certainly more challenging but as you say, your students will definitely have a higher level understanding of the material. Best wishes - Susan
I have realized in asking questions of the students, they can be rhetorical/open-ended to hope a student will define and provide answers which are larger in scope. Then I may ask more detailed questions to have the students not regurgitate the lesson but to critically think about the topic of discussion and answer a higher-level of learning and understanding.
In teaching my classes, I look to ensure my students are questioned throughout the lesson to ensure basic and higher level understanding of material.
