“The mind is not a vessel to be filled
but a fire to be ignited.” - Plutarch
Students sometimes feel that teachers
are teasing them in the classroom by bombarding them with too many questions.
They are often scared of maintaining eye contact with teachers in the
classroom. In fact, teachers not only share their knowledge but also enhance
the thinking levels of the students. In order to enhance students’ critical
thinking levels, teachers adopt various tools and techniques, and of which
questioning is one of them. Teachers
question the students with both open ended and close ended questions to grab
their attention, and to ensure effective teaching takeaways among the students.
Hence, teachers are not teasers but are brain teasers. Depending on their experience, mindset, classroom
ambience, and the profile of the students they probe students with several
questions in the classroom. Hence, be
comfortable with their questioning, view them positively, and participate
effectively in the classroom to acquire and apply knowledge in your real life.
