“The art of questioning is one of the basic skills a good teaching” Socrates.

I got some new knowledge again from the last session of PETA. Last meeting we have learned about two types of question feedback that are convergent and divergent questioning. The type of questioning is also important for us to know because it’s useful when we give some question to our students. Such as when we give some instruction and assignment or when we do some discussion, we should give a good question to our students because through good questioning teachers can extract not only factual information, but aid learners in: connecting concepts, making inferences, increasing awareness, encouraging creative and imaginative thought, aiding critical thinking processes, and generally helping learners explore deeper levels of knowing, thinking, and understanding.

I want to share to you all, have you ever found some question in paper and pencil test like: mention and explain …bla..bla…”? If we are students and we will solve the problem, I think we can’t answer it although we know the answer because we don’t know how to solve. From this experience, I have learn that if we give some question, we should give contextual question.
