The questions are often generating more questions and organizers of school knowledge. With their help, our desire to know new things is aroused, as well as helping us to reflect on our own knowledge and the learning process. In addition, the questions make the students a thinking subject, because with each question new doubts and new challenges are discovered.
ReplyDeleteAsking question when learning is pretty important because it challenge students to questioned about everything they learn, also in order to keep a field of thought (or a concept/topic) alive teachers have to constantly ask questions of it, rather than simply allowing that field to close down. Teachers are then able to challenge existing or established answers through questioning to challenge students’ thinking. In addition, thinking is not driven by answers but by questions.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is important in both learning processes. As learners, we need to answer the questions to encrease our knowledgue. The estudent that never ask, will never learn. As teachers, we need to ask ourselves about the veracity of that knowledge. We have to question every time about everything as the more we ask, the more we learn.
ReplyDeleteQuestioning is pretty important of the learning and teaching process, it does not matter in which level. I consider that since early stages, children are curious and they enjoy asking all the time; but when they go to school, they could find a barrier because teachers do not promote curiosity, there is no space or time to find out answers. Teachers should challenge students to inquire and not see things as they are, it could be difficult for students who feel afraid what others say, but gaining confidence in the classroom is one of the teacher's role. To conclude, questioning plays an interesting role as learners and teachers, it must be an instrument to solve doubts, go beyond what it seems and increase our knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your point of view. From childhood, the human being has a unique way of persisting and interpreting the world. Unfortunately, school has become a major obstacle in that valuable power that children contribute. However, teachers would not be the main authors; The Educational System has been limited through the standards implemented in the acquisition of knowledge. This means that the pedagogical method lacks the necessary tools to be implemented in the teaching and learning process.
DeleteQuestions is one of the steps into the learning process, I think, that it would be a difficult step because through the questions you will get comprehension of the topic. However, it not easy to create a question, because before to ask a question you must decide the purpose of the question.
ReplyDeleteBesides, we have to try to avoid questions that can be answered "yes" or "no", because in some cases you won´t be agreed with the answer, this kind of question do not let you to support your ideas or receive back reasons. Also we have to note what kind of answer we are going to say, because you will confuse the student’s ideas and will create a barrier that difficult students could hardly overcome.
Question is part of learning process of our lives. Although it may not seem like that, it is there where we play a fundamental role in the world of the unknown. Human being by nature is restless and manages to find the answer for any type of question. However, cognitive ability begins to be implemented from this first step (a question), which in turn would be the beginning of the advance of critical and creative thinking. On the other hand, the wisdom of a question originates from the simplest or dumbest answer, and then be transformed into a more accurate answer.
ReplyDeleteI'll answer your proverb with a proverb if I may, as I don't want to extend myself:
ReplyDeleteQuestions are the sparks which light the fire of truth; learning is my flint as teaching is my rock. - me
In the process of learning is important to ask questions because it is part of our natural growth. Since we were babies we tend to make a lot of questions to teachers, to our parents, to adults, and they always gave us the best answers. So, since a lot of time ago we have been asking questions in both process teaching and learning and it has been remarkable in our lives. Now, that we have a wide knowledge in this field of education is when we realize that asking questions never will be in vain.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions play an important role in the process of learning. Since, the first years of life, Young children and infants try to understand their surroundings by asking questions. I think that as a future teachers asking questions could be a good tool to help you increase student participation and promote critical thinking skills.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is a great tool during the teaching and learning process. The teacher can promote throughout questions the imagination and problem-solving , also make the students more curious, and increases their creativity. Students should be taught to be critical and to ask when they don't understand something.
ReplyDeleteThe pedagogue Paulo Freire in his philosophy talks about the being critical as students. This pedagogy has to do with the asking. Paulo says that the education should not be a banking education, because students are not a container that has to be fully of theories, unlike, they have to ask questions because the pedagogy must be a pedagogy of the dialogue. Students have to be reflexive about the knowledge they are acquiring. Also, students should never have a passive role in the classroom, it means that they have to ask questions, they have to be critical, because men are not made in silence, but in words, in work, in action, in reflection as Paulo says.
ReplyDeleteQuestioning have always been mentioning in the learning process, as many authors call this element in the importance of building and achieving new knowledge. Therefore, questioning have been a fundamental part for many theories and methods of learning. The socratic method, for instance, is based on asking and answering questions in order to draw out some ideas and pressumptions from a dialogue. When we build our knowledge through questions, we are taking into account not only our own understanding of a phenomenon, but others perceptions in an issue. This variety of perceptions make our knowledge more trustable and inclusive. If we do not give reliable constructs, our knowledge will be empty and will be seem useless for argumentative reasons. That is why, questioning give us the chance to improve our already existance constructs in order to make them acceptable. Without questions, humans would not have reached the level of development we've got today.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is a principal part of learning process because you can interact with other people in order to share and receive knowledge. In fact, we have to be people who ask all the time, it is necessary to improve and learning. If we do not ask anything, we are always in the confort zone. We do not have to accept everything, our doubts, points of view, ideas... need to be showed for the others and questioning.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is one aspects more relevant in our learning process because it provides us a wide knowledge which makes us a critical person.Beside, it give you a different way to think, analyze and interpret matter of distintict subject that happens in our daily and professional life .Moreover, it give us the chance to probe other people had done and demostrate that they are wrong or right.
ReplyDeleteOn the another hand, In scholar setting , it expands our background knowledge in order to understand and reflect what is adquiring.When the knowledge is obtained, is really essential that students start to ask questions about what they learnt.Thus, they wonder to everything this beautiful Word "why?"which it is awesome because they develop a critical thinking that help them to look and think beyond what is established and have their own and different point of view.
Finally, Teachers should encourages to students to ask questions in order to get knowledge that assist them in their dairy life and being capable of think themselves and give their personal opinión.
The importance of questions, as it pertains to teachers and students, is a great one.
ReplyDeleteIn the teacher/student relation, questions are used to clear our doubts about what we are learning or to clear what students are learning.All done in a very dynamic and bilateral process.
The importance of the questions during the process of obtaining a critical perspective on situations and problems is extremely high. As critical thinkers we must also take the role of creative researchers, try to find the necessary information to give support to our knowledge and arguments; As a creative and critical individual, one must be in constant exposure to doubts, not to receive information and to investigate, make inquiries, investigate, search for sources and texts that give us the different perspectives that are found in a single problematic.
ReplyDeleteCuriosity is part of the nature of the human being, it is crucial in our learning process. That is why young kids are asking all the time, because of the innate necesity of knowing about why some things happen in that way and not in a different one. However, as soon as people grow, they tend to avoid questioning, what they don´t know is that asking questions in the learning-teaching process is the key to achieve successful. At the same, constantly questioning creates in people´s brain the capacity of think critically about any life aspect.
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I heard my sister (she is a teacher) asking about who were the best philosophers, I did not answer. After that she told me, "The best philosophers are kids, because they always are asking the why and the how of things".
ReplyDeleteSince them, I understand the importance of answering kids' questions, and also, the meaningful they are.
Asking question in the process of learning is very important, firstly, because it helps children to fill those lacks they got, and helps teachers to see what students learnt, what they are learning, and what is still missing.
Secondly, Letting students ask make them more creative, and in a future, more critical thinkers.
It is highly important to build a strong confidence between teachers and students fro many good reasons.When we talk about questioning we immediately imagine shy students whose never are willing to ask a question, even if we tell them that it is okay if they possibly commit a mistake.firstly educators have to get closer to their learners and give them enough security and confidence to let them show their perspectives and avoid feeling ashamed.That is why asking during the clasess is meaningful for a learner because after a question there will be an answer and that answer means new knowledge new information,all that data can be useful not only for the child who has asked ,the answer could be the idea that your students need to understand what you were teaching to them.to conclude, questioning is important to be taught to our students to solve their misunderstandings during the class and also is important for teachers to learn how their students learn and get feedback to enhance th quality of the class.
ReplyDeleteIn the process of learning, the curiosity is attached. and this curiosity is overriding in that process since it give us a better understanding of the world and it facilitates us the developping of our cognitive skills. For instance, When we are interested in learning new things or clarify something, we ask for some information to others (that we know that have experience in that field) in order to be aware of what people have already stated for that issue. So, what we do is to receive all that information by making questions and building a reliable construct based on trustful sources where you previously asked.
ReplyDeleteit means questionning helps us to build new knowledge based on other people's perceptions. but guided by variety of perceptions, we can costruct our own knowledge.
Questioning and making questions takes a big quantity of importance when learning and teaching. When learners ask questions, they are requiring answers to doubts they may have. Not all information is implicit and detailed, and no question is silly or not important. There are questions that not even teachers have ask themselves. In my experience as a student, making questions has solved crucial doubts that are reflected when we are required to expose our knowledge.Making questions must be take as a fundamental part when learning. On the other hand, when teaching, teachers must be aware to the answers they give when they are call for answer learners doubts. This is because the answer the teacher gave to the learner is the answer learners are going to have when they are required to answer the same question. Both, learners and teachers should look for more information to solve their questions, rather that being static with just one point of view.
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is very important in the process of education. Through this curiosity to know more and to understand better the world, everyone together can build knowledge and start to ignore fewer matters than we ignored when we were just babies. We can be more aware of people surround us and start to change their lives to develop a better life for them.

ReplyDeleteAccording to Socrates when you Ask questions help your students to reflect about the information that they have in their minds or they have investigated.This method helps to collect and evaluate our ideas and with feedback we will create new ideas. In the same way, it helps us because when we listen to the ideas of our classmates we use the respect to others, listening their own understanding through self-inquiry of their knowlegde
Questioning is really important for everybody , because the cure for boredom is curiosity ,and there is no cure for curiosity, which means that everyday we should look for more point of views and exchanging information with other people cause it helps to build a picture of the things that surround us. Also, it is important asking for testing what we have already learnt in the context of education .
ReplyDeleteAsking questions is the best way to improve our knowledge about different topics; for this reason, we as future teachers need to develop in our students the ability to ask, because of it enables them to get new information and learn. Moreover, for us crucial to make questions because we are going to teach and we will be seen as a model. If we are not able to ask, we will not be able to answer in the correct way students' questions.
ReplyDeleteA child is always asking their mother, father or teacher questions because he or she is curious to know the answers to their doubts and in this way, the child will fill those gaps of knowledge.
ReplyDeleteIt also happens to a teenager, an adult, a teacher or any other professional. They had many doubts to learn and to solve them they had to ask them through questions.
Questions in learning help us to increase our knowledge and make us more curious to know more and more (Keeping in mind that knowledge does not have a limit).
Every child will always have the concern to know the How? and because? of the things that surrounds it. This first and great step of their learning is fundamental, which contributes to their cognitive development of the dynamics that frames the social context. However, we must bear in mind that this step is very flexible and easy to manipulate, which the society's regime takes advantage of this circumstance.
DeleteI totally agree with the statement as I think learning has to do with curiosity and excitement to discover unknown things. I am pretty sure human beings are curious by nature, and without this quality, humanity would not have been able to survive throughout world history. I argue that in the past, learning was a matter of survival for human beings and not for educational purposes. I think questioning is the door for knowledge because it not only helps you understand and dispel your doubts, but also it broadens your knowledge. Not asking means taking people’s opinion for granted and thinking they are totally right
ReplyDeleteIn the teaching-learning process 'questioning' is one of the most important aspects in order to succeed.
ReplyDeleteQuestions make part of the communication as we are social by nature. When asking and answering doubts both the receiver and the listening are creating what is called the zone of proximal development, in which is shown the difference between one individual and another, making a clear scene regarding the knowledge or topic treated on the conversation. Based on that when the individuals noticed this gap, start turning the interaction to reach that zone in order to make this space between them closer.
The main objective of our classroom is to lower the level of anxiety in order to have students free to ask questions. Once this happens the process of teaching-learning will improve in a better way.
Ask a question every single time like children do is the best for learning something new, simple words such as what, why, how and so on helps us to discover and learn new things.
ReplyDeleteWe need to think and ask every single time as much possible we can, like such proverbs or saying say: I think therefore I am. Although at the end we realize “the more we learn is the less we get”
