Statements Over Questions: Unlocking Student Insight
Research alone is insufficient to change teaching practices; the focus should shift towards changing habits. Transitioning from questions to statements enhances the quality of student responses, as it eliminates the fear of being incorrect that often accompanies questions. This approach fosters a mindset centered on understanding students' thoughts, essential for effective teaching. Implementing strategies such as focusing on wait time, using multiple-choice questions thoughtfully, and utilizing tools like index cards for exit tickets can facilitate deeper engagement and insight into student understanding.
