Top : Training Methods and Activities : Questioning Techniques:
Questioning techniques and skills fall into the essential elements of effective training. Questioning allows interaction with learners, and among learners, promotes engagement, and helps trainers diagnose learning problems. Here's a collection of hints, tips and advice on the use of questioning techniques in training.
Didactic Questioning

Didactic questioning offers the teacher a way to structure the learning process (McNeil & Wiles, 1990). Didactic questions tend to be convergent, factual, and often begin with "what," "where," "when," and "how." They can be effectively used to diagnose recall and comprehension skills, to draw on prior learning experiences, to determine the extent to which lesson objectives were achieved, to provide practice, and to aid retention of information or processes. Teachers should remember that didactic questions can be simplistic, can encourage guessing, and can discourage insightful answers or creativity. However, effectiveness of this method can be increased by the appropriate addition of "why" questions, and the occasional use of "what if" questions. new Hits: 135 )

Will Thalheimer
The buzz in the learning industry is focused on e-learning, m-learning, wikis, and blogs; but one of the most powerful learning technologies is being overlooked, probably because it's an in-the-classroom technology--audience response systems. In this research-to-practice white paper I offer a blueprint for how to use audience response systems to maximize higher-order learning in the classroom and beyond. Hits: 515 )
