TYPES OF QUESTIONS
This lesson we discussed the different levels of questioning in which students can engage in. These should be considered when asking questions for assessment, as they will determine the level of understanding a student will have for a particular concept.
Literal Questions
• What?
• Where?
• When?
Inferential Questions
• Why?
• What do you think?
• How?
Evaluative
• How does (cite specific topics)
• What would you have done (personal responses with specific topic)
When planning for assessment or evaluation, keeping these types of questions in mind will allow teachers to see what level of understanding a student has.
