Independent Study Task: The Skill of Questioning

For our advance reading independent study task we were given a chapter regarding the skill of questioning. I found this extract extremely interesting and gave me a insight into the importance of questioning. The main aim of the chapter was to inform the reader of the different types of questions and their importance in society and communication as it is regarded as a fundamental part; without questions communication is unstable.

Within this chapter the theme of Purpose of questions section grasped my attention. It explained and introduced many different aspects of questioning which I had never even considered such as not only to obtain knowledge from the answer but to also ensure that the interaction between people is there as asking questions in a classroom setting allows interaction between the teacher and pupil, ensuring that the pupil is aware of the topic.

Furthermore there were a few words and phrases that I wasn’t perhaps fully aware of the meaning of so through looking through a dictionary I was able to find out the meaning of the words, allowing me to initiate a fuller understanding of the text as a whole.

I found this chapter very helpful as I gained a great understanding of the skill of questioning and will be sure to refer back to this knowledge when exploring my own ways of teaching.
