Questioning Strategies
What Is It? Questioning Strategies is a teaching strategy to prompt
thinking. Using questioning techniques in a variety of different contexts and according to a taxonomy of higher order thinking skills helps students develop the ability to reason.
Teachers ask questions that require students to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the information they are taught.

Studies show that students exposed to high cognitive level questions score significantly higher on
standardized achievement tests than those students who have only been exposed to low order level questions.

In order to elicit specific responses, a teacher may consider whether he/she is asking closed or open questions.
Higher-order questions tend to be open and encourage divergent thinking.

Questioning & Brain Research
Teachers' effective use of a variety of higher-order questions can overcome the brain's natural tendency to limit information. In turn, students' minds can become more open to new ideas and creative mental habits.
