Questioning: The Key to Higher Level Research
School Library System | March 8, 2010
Critical thinking skills are essential for any good research project. These skills, include the ability for students to locate appropriate sources, read critically, evaluate sources and information, analyze information, and ultimately reach a conclusion, are developed through research projects that require students to ask difficult questions rather than answer simple ones. This workshop will discuss essential questions and techniques for teaching good questioning. A round table discussion will allow participants to share teaching techniques related to questioning. Participants should bring examples of scaffolding models, lessons, etc. to share.
