Forming questions
I am convinced about the importance in asking good questions. But my problem is this: I can't think of any good impromptu questions to ask (when I have time to create questions, that's different). So my questions are two-fold:
1. How can I grow in being able to ask better impromptu questions?
2. What has been the best method in creating questions? How do you come up with a "good" question?
Brian,
One of my techniques that I employ is sitting down prior to the quarter and thinking of different questions that may come up or that have come up previously and writing them down. As the qtr goes I revisit them to refresh myself. This way, when a situation comes up and I need something off the cuff, I might be able to utilize one of the questions from my bank. It may not be totally impromptu, but may seem that way and it can come in really handy.
HI Brian- Hmmm?? How about "What do you know about the structure of the heart?, Does anyone know how oxygen gets from our mouths/noses into our blood. Has anyone ever had a concussion? What was that experience like? Susan
Thanks Susan! I think those questions would be valuable when presenting non-concrete material. Now what if I'm presenting a course using factual material (e.g. anatomy & physiology, pharmacology)?
Hi Brian - Good question! LOL! I like to use "What do you think about ____? What's your opinion about____? Anyone have any experiences related to this? Best wishes- Susan
