Overview

Effective questioning is one of the most powerful tools available to teachers, trainers, assessors and coaches. When used purposefully, questions can uncover what learners already know, stimulate curiosity, deepen thinking and support meaningful learning.

This practical webinar will help you move beyond simply asking more questions to asking the right question, at the right time, for the right purpose. You’ll explore a range of questioning approaches, including diagnostic, analytical, reflective, formative, application, creative, supportive and guiding questions.

Through practical examples, you’ll consider how questioning can be adapted for different contexts, including teaching, training, assessment, reviews and coaching conversations. You’ll leave with practical techniques and a bank of question stems that you can use immediately to strengthen your practice.

What You Will Learn:

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Explain the role of purposeful questioning in supporting effective learning.
  • Identify different types of questions and select the most appropriate approach for a particular purpose.
  • Develop questions that promote deeper thinking and meaningful responses.
  • Apply questioning techniques effectively across teaching, training, assessment and coaching contexts.
