2. Are you at present using any of the strategies/techniques that you have listed? If you are
using any please mention the strategies/techniques.

Yes, I have been using random calling, student calling, value feedback, wait time,
repetition, surveying etc.

3. Could please explain a strategy/technique of questioning you use or may use in your class
which is not shown in the Videos?

Group work is not mentioned in the video, but I have been using that strategy in my
classes regularly. And it is very effective to use that strategy.

4. a) What do you think of "wait time" and how important is "wait time"? ( you may have to
research or read materials from the reference materials in this course)

Wait time refers to the time given to the students to think when the teacher asks a
question and also for the time given after answering the questions. This is something
very important to use in the class room. Because, giving time for the students to think
before answering the questions. It will develop the student’s level of thinking. Other
than this, if the teacher insists the students to tell the answer without even thinking about
the answers, they might give a wrong answer. So it is very important to give time for
them to think.

b) Please Google/from books/ videos, find a researcher/s who supports this technique (wait
time) and what does the researcher say about it. (please quote the exact words, the researchers
name and year of publication).

In 1972, Mary Budd Rowe published a paper summarizing five years of study
into wait times. She observed that when teachers allowed at least 3 seconds of wait time,
there were a number of positive changes in the classroom
These are the benefits which Rowe (1974) found to increasing the amount of time
teachers wait after asking the class a question.
