"Effective Questioning Strategies for

Online Teachers."
1. Understanding the student’s backround:
- Technique: Conduct a virtual "get-to-know-you" session to understand
the student's learning preferences, interests, and any challenges they may
face in the online environment.
- Sample Questions:
- What subjects or topics do you enjoy learning about the most?
- Are there any specific things you find difficult or confusing when
learning online?

2. Crafting Effective Questions:

- Technique: Tailor questions to the student's interests and learning level
to ensure relevance and engagement.
- Sample Questions:
- Since you love animals, can you tell me about your favorite animal and
why you like it?

19
 - How would you solve this math problem using the strategies we've
learned?

3. Delivery Techniques:
- Technique: Utilize various interactive tools such as shared whiteboards,
interactive games, or educational videos to keep the student engaged during
the session.
- Sample Questions:
- Let's use the drawing tool to illustrate the story we read. Can you draw
your favorite scene?
- Would you like to play a quick game to practice our vocabulary words?

4. Types of Questions:
- Technique: Balance between asking open-ended questions to encourage
discussion and closed-ended questions to assess understanding.
- Sample Questions:
- Open-ended: What do you think will happen next in the story? Why?
- Closed-ended: Is this statement true or false based on what we learned?

5. Promoting Higher-Order Thinking:

- Technique: Encourage critical thinking by asking questions that require
analysis, evaluation, and application of knowledge.
- Sample Questions:
- Why do you think the character made that decision? What other options
could they have considered?
- How could you use what we've learned about the story to solve a real-life
problem?

20
6. Leveraging Technology:
- Technique: Use screen sharing to demonstrate online resources or
educational websites relevant to the student's interests and learning
objectives.
- Sample Questions:
- Let's explore this interactive science website together. Can you tell me
what you find most interesting?
- Would you like to watch a short educational video about space and then
discuss what we learned?

7. Havruta Learning:
- Technique: Engage in dialogue and discussion with the student to deepen
understanding and foster critical thinking.
- Sample Questions:
- How would you explain this concept to a friend who doesn't understand
it?
- Can you think of a different way to solve this problem? Let's discuss the
pros and cons of each approach.
