In times past, the purpose for asking questions was
generally ignored for most disciplines. It was only applicable if teaching
comprehension skills in English where one is required to ask literal,
inferential questions or questions that required some form of evaluation. However I am coming to recognize that this
skill is not secluded to Language Based subjects but should transverse across
all other disciplines.
I think that my weakness is encouraging students to ask more
questions not only to me as the teacher but also to other colleagues. The value
of this practice will not only raise the confidence levels of students but will
foster critical thinking as they develop collaborative skills. That way students do not feel compelled to
absorb everything one says but is at liberty to question things whether for clarity, justification or for more
information.
