It has been for quite some time that most of the teaching events and professional development programmes have been conducted online due to the epidemic. It is encouraging that the Staff Development Workshop on “Questioning” for Yuen Long Po Kok Primary School was able to be carried out ‘face-to-face’ on 26 August, 2020.
The Workshop conducted by Ms. Jannie TSANG and Ms. LEUNG Kit Yan of Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) aims to strike a balance between theory and Practice even though the situation was not favourable for group discussion yet. The relevant theories of questioning and feedback had been introduced with a major focus on the cognitive domain of Bloom’s Taxonomy as requested by the school with the illustration of concrete examples of the four core subjects. The techniques on enhancing classroom interactions had been discussed. To put the theory into practice, the forty teacher participants had been engaged on individual tasks in designing questions of different levels of cognitive complexity for pictures, videos, and their respective subjects. The sharing from teachers with the feedback from the speakers helped to enrich the teaching ideas and inspire one another on designing various levels of questions to meet the learning needs of their students.
