A study into the effectiveness and need for teachers who ask probing questions to their students. The paper defines the art of questioning as a technique of using probing questions to elicit responses that reflect critical thinking and creativity. Instead of asking questions that produce a dead-end response, a skilled teacher is able to sustain a stream of interrelated questions that respond to students' answers. The paper looks at the skills needed by the teachers and the results they can effect in their student population.
From the Paper:
"First, teachers who practice the art of questioning know how to ask a variety of questions to produce reflective responses. Inference questions challenge students to come up with ideas that are not directly presented to them. In interpretation questions, the teacher helps students trace the development of their thinking processes or interpretation of the problem. With transfer questions, students apply their learning to a new topic."
