Evaluation starts with self-review. From what you have learned in this short unit you should be better able to consider the following key issues:
1. How and when should you move from closed and lower order questioning to a better balance of more open and higher order questions?
2. How, in your planning, should you assess the number and nature of questions you use to ensure adequate participation, pace and challenge in your lessons?
3. How, using questioning as an assessment tool, does your analysis of the range and quality of responses from learners give you instant feedback on their needs, their successes and their weaknesses?
