Keeping students engaged in the classroom has always been a topic of discussion in the teaching community, as many educators struggle with meaningfully engaging students throughout the day. It's incredibly difficult to incorporate all students interests into every lesson being taught, so other methods of engagement need to be considered to fill the gaps.
One effective way to increase student engagement is to alter questioning methods in the classroom. Rather than asking boring, close-ended questions, we can incorporate more thought-provoking and open-ended questions. This would provide students with the opportunity to communicate with their classmates and share ideas. Not only does it stimulate and encourage conversation in the classroom, but it also allows educators to gain feedback on the effectivity of the lesson. It gives students the opportunity to reflect on their learning through higher-level thinking provoked through open-ended questions.
Try incorporating the following types of questions into lessons to increase student participation, collaboration, and engagement:
1. Open-ended questions
- encourages a wide variety of thoughtful responses that provoke discussion
2. Probing questions
- allows for insight into student knowledge and understanding
3. Reflective questions
- encourages student self-reflection, self-analysis, and personal growth
4. Leading questions
- guides student discussion and responses to elicit deeper and more thoughtful thinking
