EDUC 535 Effective Questioning: Applying Brain Research and Bloom’s Taxonomy in the PK-12 Environment

3 Credits

How can we engage students by getting them to ask the right questions and think about their thinking? Teachers and their students need to be more attuned to the questions they ask of themselves and others. When we get students to think about their thinking, they become more active and more meaningful learners. This course will allow teachers to delve deeper, rather than broader, into curriculum and will provide current research on effective questioning, incorporating Bloom’s Taxonomy into the daily curriculum, and managing higher-level questioning with students of varying abilities.
