Abstract:
This professional development book, suitable for all K-12 educators, offers rationales and strategies for the use of questioning as a method of instruction. The author intends for readers to be able to motivate their students, stimulate high level thinking, and enhance students' self-concept. Thus, the questioning strategies presented here favor in-depth thinking and reflection over recollection of facts. Examples of strategies include personification, what if/hypothetical questioning, and visual techniques, such as a constructing a mind map. The mind map is similar to a concept map in that students organize and visually construct relationships between ideas. Diagrams, examples of questions, and bulleted lists constitute a majority of the book's content, and the unifying metaphorical shape throughout the text is a triangle. Mathematics, social studies, and reading are specific disciplines for which the text provides concrete examples. (Author/AJC)
