Abstract: | Engaged questioning and focused listening are requisite tools in developing and enhancing students’ thinking skills. For educators, the ability to ask the right question at the right time is an essential instructional skill. Thought-provoking questions trigger an array of responses which reveal who learners are experientially, where learners are going instructionally, and how educators and students connect relationally. When insightful questions go unasked or unanswered, individual and collective learning is constrained for teachers and students alike. |
