The Art of Questioning




In teaching learning process questioning is important because it is one way of having conversation with the learners and in that you can measure or you will know what  have they learn from the teachers, it is stated that a good teaching also involves good questioning.
In questioning we must consider its types like question that is according to the thinking process and from low level to high level questions, to the type of answers that is needed and the degree of the exploration and values of persons.
Questions have descriptive categories they are The cognitive Memory question this is rage in the low level of questioning because it is just simply recalling things learned, The Convergent Questions this still belongs to the low level questioning because still recalling information that will lead to correct answer, The Divergent Questions this question is in the high level because it encourages students to think and this is applicable to essay type questions the last is the Evaluation which is still on the high level because it requires student to apply their critical thinking and value judgment to answer. A good question is simple, clear, definitive and adaptive to the age, abilities and interest of the learners.
