TITLE OF SESSION : ART OF QUESTIONING
Duration 2 hours
Terminal Objectives At the end of the session, teachers should be able to:
A. Acquire questioning techniques to facilitate learning and meaning-making;
B. Discuss the value of questioning and discussion strategies in the literacy classroom;
C. Manifest commitment in guiding students in generating their own questions about the text; and
D. Realize the importance of enhancing skills in questioning and asking questions in an MTBMLE
classroom.
Key Understanding 1. Successful reading is not simply the mechanical process of decoding text, rather it is the
process of active inquiry.
2. To encourage critical reading, teachers should ask students about the text before, during,
and after they read. Teachers can help students become more proficient by modeling the
process for them and encouraging them to use it when they read independently.
3. Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully
conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered
from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as
a guide to belief and action. (Scriven & Paul, presented at the 8th Annual International
