QuestioningEngaging students through effective
questioning Our focus this year at VHPS with regard to improving student learning is questioning techniques. Blooms taxonomy of questions is a widely-accepted framework that many teachers use to guide their students through the learning process. Though not necessarily sequential, the hierarchy of Bloom’s taxonomy is often depicted as a pyramid, with simple knowledge-based recall questions at the base. Questions higher on the pyramid are more complex and demand higher cognitive skills from the children.
