Full Description
The Power of Questions: How They Can Change and Influence Instructional Practices is designed for both educators and learners. It supports a robust way to understand the efficacy of any teaching and learning environment. Educators should develop questions that ensure their own analysis of essential or key learning concepts and choose spaces to motivate learners to reflect on how they learn. As a learner, one should work on developing question asking strategies that lead to critical thinking, self-advocacy, curiosity and developing an arsenal of truth-worthy research tools. Using and soliciting questions (particularly open-ended questions) and answers offers a feedback loop that increases academic achievement and develops life-long learning habits. This book's outcome is to elevate instructional efficacy that rebuilds, renews,and regenerates learning through the power of questioning.
