    @Hiba-khan the path to wisdom and virtue lay in questioning one's own beliefs and assumptions, and in engaging in dialogue with others to uncover the truth.

  • @Hiba-khan Questioning to understand is a powerful learning strategy where questions are used to delve deeper into a topic, clarify understanding, and foster critical thinking. It involves asking questions before, during, and after learning experiences to actively engage with the material and build a more profound comprehension.

  • @Hiba-khan Instead of passively receiving information, questioning encourages learners to actively participate in the learning process by seeking clarification, exploring connections, and challenging assumptions.

  • @Hiba-khan By prompting learners to analyze, interpret, and evaluate information, questioning moves beyond rote memorization and fosters a more meaningful understanding of the subject matter.

  • @Hiba-khan Verbalizing questions and answers enhances clarity of thought and communication skills, promoting both articulation and active listening.

  • @Hiba-khan Questioning can be used to check for prior knowledge, stimulate recall, focus on key concepts, and guide learners through a progressive understanding of a topic.

  • @Hiba-khan These encourage elaboration and provide opportunities for in-depth explanations, often starting with words like "how," "what," "why," and "describe".

  • These are more specific and often require a single-word or short-phrase answer, often used to check for basic understanding.

  • @Hiba-khan These challenge learners to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information, pushing them beyond basic recall.

  • @Hiba-khan embracing the power of questioning, educators can create a more dynamic and engaging learning environment that fosters deeper understanding and critical thinking skills.
