Are you going to need more information? Are you looking to find a deeper meaning? Perhaps asking a probing question will help you get to the bottom of things. Probing questions are not just about clarifying specific details; instead, these questions dig much deeper than the surface. An effective probing question helps to get a person to talk about their personal opinions and feelings, and promotes critical thinking. Probing questions are typically open-ended, meaning there is more than just one response. Most probing questions begin with 'what,' 'why' or 'how.' If you want the person you're asking to expand on their response, the use of the word 'exactly,' or the phrase 'can you explain further' should get you there. Probing Questions vs Clarifying Questions It can be argued that a clarifying question is a type of probing question because the goals of the two questions are the same - to get more information. However, a clarifying question...

Skill of Illustration It has been observed that some abstract ideas or concepts are very difficult to teach. In spite of their best efforts of explaining the concepts, the teachers are unable to convey the true sense and meaning of the concepts. This difficulty of  the teacher can be solved easily if they are able to master the skill of illustrating with examples. Components: 1.Formulating Simple Example. A simple example is one which is related to the previous knowledge of pupils. It should be according to the age level, grade level and the background of pupils. 2.Formulating Relevant Example An example is relevant to the concept, when the concept or the rule can be   applied to it. This means to say that the rule is explained by the example. 3.Formulating Interesting Example An example is interesting if it can arouse curiosity and interest of pupils. This can be judged by the attending behaviour of students. If the pupils keenly attend to the example, it is real...

How often do you stop to look at your chalkboard work from your students' point of view? Probably, almost anything you put on the board will be clear to you; the test that you must pass is to make your chalkboard presentation clear to a student seeing it for the first time. The guiding principle should be: Look at your writing as though you were a student in your own class. Keep these three points in mind while planning your board presentation: 1. Let your students see and read what you have written. Illegible or obscured work is valueless. 2. Give students time to copy what you have written. Most students don't think analytically while they are writing. 3. Organize your board work. It will help students interpret their notes and an organized board models good notetaking. These points are taken up one at a time in the following discussion. ·Even in an average sized room, students in the back rows may have trouble reading words in a small handwriting, Unless the fl...
