3. Type of Questions Sample Questions Asked
1. Convergent Question  How long is the hypotenuse if the two
legs of a right triangle measures 3m and
4m respectively?
 What is the longest side of a right
triangle?
2. Divergent Question  What are the different ways in getting
the length of one leg of a right triangle?

 Give the formula for Pythagorean
Theorem
4. High- Level Questions  Is the solution of your classmate correct
class?
 How can we apply the theorem in
solving the length of the legs and the
hypotenuse of a right triangle?

5. My Analysis
1. Which questioning and reacting techniques encouraged teacher-student interaction? Which
one did not?
Based on my observation, a good question encourages teacher-student
interaction. These questions are the higher-order questions which develops HOTS and
critical thinking on students. Also, appropriate reacting techniques must be employed
by the teacher. These are giving feedbacks that encourage students’ participation.
Teachers should also attend to the question or give appropriate praise to correct
answers because it will surely encourage teacher-student interaction. On the other
hand, low level questions and poor reacting techniques does not led to a smooth
teacher-student interaction during class.
2. What did Neil Postman mean when he said: “Children go to school as question marks and
leave schools as periods”? Does this have something to do with a teacher’s questioning and
reacting techniques?
For me, the statement expresses an idea that learners/children have many
questions in life that need to be clarified. As they go to school, these questions are
answered or clarified by their teacher leaving them knowledge and understanding.
Therefore, they leave as periods from school.
Yes, this have something to do with a teacher’s questioning and reacting
techniques. Appropriate questions will make students think deeper thus making them
understand better. Good reactions from teacher will encourage them to do more.

6. My Reflections
What do I resolve to do and NOTdo in my questioning and reacting techniques
so as to encourage teacher-student interaction?
A good question and an appropriate reaction towards an answer will surely
leave a mark on my students. It will encourage teacher- student interaction. Therefore,
it is good to resolve now on what to do and not to do in my questioning and reacting
techniques in order to be guided in my future career.
I should:
1. Vary my questions.
2. Rephrase my questions for them to understand.
3. Ask an open-ended question.
4. Allow students to think first (wait time).
5. Call also the non-volunteer to catch the attention and focus.
6. Give appropriate feedbacks to their answer.
7. Make follow up questions.
8. Encourage them verbally and non-verbally.
I should not:
1. Ignore students’ idea/s.
2. Focus on low level questions which could hinder their critical thinking development.
3. Discourage leaners by saying “wrong” but instead, choose an appropriate term.
4. Stick to one type of question.
5. Remove the learners’ chance to ask questions to me or to his/her classmates.

7. My Portfolio
I promote higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) and interaction for learning by the kind
of questions that I ask.
Secondary (For BSED Student)
After having been presented the pros and cons of teaching reproductive health in
schools, the student must be able to take a stand on controversial issue and give reasons for
such stand.
1. Are you in favor or not in favor of reproductive health? Why or why not?
2. Is the use of contraceptives helpful or harmful to us? In what way?
I promote class interaction by my favorable remarks. Here are 5 examples of
expressions I must use (products of my research) to inspire my students to be involved in class
interaction.
1. e.g. “You are on the right track.”
2. “Yes, you are right!”
3. “Very good!”
4. “Thank you for that brilliant idea.”
5. “Yes, you have an idea.”
