| '''Closed versus Open questions:'''
| |
|
| |
|
| * Closed questions are factual and focus on a correct response. ''Some
| | Here are some questions you can use about your questions! |
| examples are: Name the different parts of a plant? What are the five
| |
| nutrients that must be present in a balanced diet? How many sides does
| |
| a triangle have? What is the formula for calculating perimeter of a
| |
| square? How many planets are there in the solar system? Name two
| |
| sources of renewable energy.''
| |
| * Open questions have many answers. ''Some examples are: What could be
| |
| the consequences of water contamination? How does a balanced diet help
| |
| us? How could we use flowers of plants? Suggest ways to prevent spread
| |
| of malaria in your community?''
| |
|
| |
| '''Surface versus Deep questions:'''
| |
| | |
| * Surface questions elicit one idea or some ideas. ''For example, What
| |
| is the difference between organic and inorganic fertilizers? What is
| |
| the use if carbohydrates in a balanced diet? Which part of the sugar
| |
| cane plant is used for eating? Which features of a cactus plant are
| |
| useful for its survival in desert regions?''
| |
| * Deep questions elicit relations between ideas and extended ideas.
| |
| ''For example, What would happen if only inorganic fertilizers are
| |
| used for growing plants? What connections do you see between climate
| |
| of a region and its vegetation? Why is the water in the nearby pond
| |
| not safe for drinking?''
| |
| | |
| ‘What if’ and ‘Why’... questions can help you delve deeper into
| |
| pupils’ thinking.
