Incorporating Questioning Strategies

There are key moments in any session that can benefit from the addition of a questioning strategy:

Near the Beginning of the Session

  • Determine participants’ existing knowledge of a topic.
  • Determine participants’ learning goals/needs.
  • Make connections to participants’ lives and experiences.

During Transitions Between Topics Within the Session

  • Check participants’ understanding.
  • Elicit questions from participants.

Near the End of the Session

  • Help participants apply new information.
  • Help participants retain and process knowledge.

Questioning is a form of engagement and will benefit all participants. Please see Participant Engagement Questioning Types and Strategies for a complete listing of questioning types and strategies.
