    Questioning is vital in lessons - as a newish teacher I try and think of Qs for lessons. #ukedchat

    Having questions on stand-by is helpful, but most questions need to be raised ‘during the moment’? #UKEdChat

  • UnioByHarness Apr 6 @ 3:07 PM EDT
    Education is all about encouraging childrens minds to question the world around them. That should start in the classroom & lessons #ukedchat

  • Mr_Misquitta Apr 6 @ 3:10 PM EDT
    Agree.....I think more experience, this skills builds on. I remember being an NQT and my questioning didn't always go to plan #ukedchat

    In reply to @ukedchat

    A2 asking the right student the right question! Questioning is really important when thinking about differentiation #ukedchat
    In reply to @UKEdSch
  • Mroberts90Matt Apr 6 @ 3:14 PM EDT
    #UKEdChat A2 - Will the question further the chns thinking or is it a 'shallow' question
  • GilchristGeorge Apr 6 @ 3:14 PM EDT
    Q1 very important but, learners should be asking the most questions #ukedchat
  • UnioByHarness Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    Ooh interesting, how do you implement that? #ukedchat
    In reply to @Mr_Misquitta, @teacherchalky1, @ukedchat, @ICTmagic
  • EarlyYearsIdeas Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    #ukedchat A2. Not just asking q's for the sake of it - making sure that they are meaningful and helpful
    In reply to @UKEdSch
  • digicoled Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    I like that #UKEdChat - Is it mainly verbal, or are written responses as important, do you think?
    In reply to @keran77
  • Mr_Misquitta Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    I trialed asking students to make questions for other students to answer in class as a plenary and also as revision. #ukedchat

  • FloraBarton Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    A2-range of HOQ is vital from teachers to challenge all-but key is training children to use these questions as well. #ukedchat
    In reply to @ukedchat
  • keran77 Apr 6 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    A2 Think carefully about the ?s you ask. Give chn time to discuss ?s with a partner. That way everyone gets a chance to share #UKEdChat
    In reply to @UKEdSch
  • teacherchalky1 Apr 6 @ 3:16 PM EDT
    I've used students standing up and chucking a ball to each other then once they've answered they sit down #ukedchat

    A1: For me in EY, questioning is crucial in modelling basic social interactions, especially the give and take of a conversation! #ukedchat
    In reply to @UKEdSch

    Do you think our questioning can act as a model for chn to begin to ask their own q's? #ukedchat

    I would say, if engaged, they are internally. Some children need to digest their knowledge, and can take time #UKEdChat

  • JohnPearce_JP Apr 6 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    #UKEdChat It's not the questions we teachers ask but rather the questions students ask. Try raising the issues of "unnecessary questions" 1
  • EarlyYearsIdeas Apr 6 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    That's true. I think this links to what someone was saying about the 'flow' of the lesson #ukedchat
    • KathyBigio Apr 6 @ 3:13 PM EDT
      But conversations can do the same - too many questions turns into an interrogation!!!!
      In reply to @Mroberts90Matt, @EarlyYearsIdeas
  • TGolightly Apr 6 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    A2: Being consistent with language, and giving time children to process the question before answering it. 'Thinking time' #UKEdChat
    In reply to @UKEdSch
  • digicoled Apr 6 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    I’d agree. We need to remember and allow pupils time to mentally process their learning #UKEdChat
    In reply to @FloraBarton
  • EarlyYearsIdeas Apr 6 @ 3:18 PM EDT

  • digicoled Apr 6 @ 3:20 PM EDT
    I think asking questions about previous lesson is more important, as pupils have had chance to process that learning #UKEdChat
  • JohnPearce_JP Apr 6 @ 3:20 PM EDT
    #UKEdChat (2) They ask, "How do you spell x?" you reply, "Have a go" & they get it right. You say.... "that was an unnecessary question"

    #UKEdChat (3) Even better you have a clicker and click every time, in a lesson, you are asked an unnecessary question. It builds awareness!
  • doc_kristy Apr 6 @ 3:23 PM EDT
    It works really well, often the kids come and find you when they have decided on their answer and ask for another card #ukedchat
