TeachPaperless: 10 Ways to Help Students Ask Better Questions - 1 views

teachpaperless.blogspot.com/...-help-students-ask-better.html

  • The points students bring up are thought-provoking. However, I'm most impressed by the questions they ask one another. They clarify and ask follow-up questions. They make inferences. They ask connecting questions and critical thinking questions. It's a messy process, but it's beautiful messy. It's art.
  • As long as a question is respectful, I want students to question their world. This applies to analyzing mathematical processes, thinking through social issues, making sense out of a text or analyzing the natural world for cause and effect.
  • I require students to ask questions before, during and after reading.

  • Three times a week, we do inquiry days, where students begin with their own question in either social studies or science and they research it, summarize it and then ask further questions. While my initial goal involved teaching bias, loaded language and summarization, I soon realized that students were growing the most in their ability to ask critical thinking questions.
  • Feedback on questions: I highlight their questions in Google Docs and leave comments on their blogs with very specific feedback.
  • Sometimes I'll ask a really lame question and then say, "Someone tell my why that question sucked?" or I'll ask a deeper question and say, "Why was that a hard question to answer?" The goal is to get them to see deeper questions and to also think about why a question is deep or shallow.
  • Some students have a really hard time with questioning strategies.
  • I teach students about inquiry, clarifying, critical thinking and inference questioning.
  • Students sometimes ask me questions. Other times they ask partners or small group questions. Still other times they ask the questions to the whole class.
  • Technology allows students to take their time in crafting a question while having access to the questions of their peers.

  • Brevity is appreciated. Since reading other's comments or articles can be very time consuming, try to be straight to the point, although respect that this is an academic class. Too little is just as troublesome as too much!
  • give a frame of reference in your post by quoting or summarizing the content to which you are responding
  • The me-too post certainly is a frustration in the online environment and does not add any depth to the discussion or learning.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • be sure to post substantive ideas and avoid the "I agree" posts which just clutter up a discussion board.
  • Subject lines that just repeat the original poster’s subject line with the Re: added (Re: Re: Re: Unoriginal subject line) give no indication to the reader if the new or added content will benefit him or her as a learner
  • Each time you post or reply to a post, update the subject line to match the content of your posting.
  • Make sure you are posting under the appropriate heading or thread.
  • The Discussion Board is part of a college course, so your writing style should conform to the rules of standard English.

  • A student-run Web site at Stanford University seeks to convince students to input their class assignments to keep themselves—and their classmates—more organized. It could, founders hope, grow into a student-run course-management system.
  • Once one student adds an assignment in a class, everyone else in the class has it added to their calendars, as well. Ultimately, he’d like to expand the site to include social events on campus, to help students better plan every aspect of their lives. He also plans to allow students to flag incorrect assignments.

    I thought this would be something that people might want to check out given our class discussion on RefWorks. Zotero is a free, open-source piece of software much like RefWorks except that you can still access it after you leave TRU. It is geared much more towards science students and allows you to customize your references to the exact style of referencing seen in a specific journal (e.g. Animal Behaviour). There are tons of tools to explore on the site. Hope this helps!
