Module 1 Activity 11: Encouraging Learners to ask Questions

It is of paramount importance that students be taught how to construct good questions. This is especially important if they are to become self directed, life-long learners. Activity 11 provided useful insight into questioning as a strategy, emphasizing the need for proper planning which involves formulating questions at various levels of the revised Bloom's taxonomy, asking a variety of questions,knowing when to ask questions and so on and so forth. I particularly found contrasting a useful strategy to stimulate inquiry in students. I will be sharing this with my colleagues at school.
