| Summary: | Revolving around the theme of questioning in the classroom, the three articles in this newsletter are based on talks and workshop material drawn from the 1986 Summer Institute of the College Board's Educational EQuality Project. In the first article, "The Art of Questioning," Dennie Palmer Wolf points out that although most teachers feel questioning is a very important part of their teaching, they rarely can explain how they question, and that research has shown that many teachers use questions ineffectively. The article provides a taxonomy of question types, including inference, interpretation, and transfer questions as well as questions about hypotheses; gives examples from real classroom dialogues, and proposes hypotheses for why so few questions are actually asked in the classroom. The second article, "When Students Ask Questions," by Jane Schaffer, describes personal experiences that show the importance of questioning in the classroom, especially the need for both students and teachers to ask questions and for teachers to ask "lively" questions. The third article, "A Reporter's Questions," by Edna Buchanan, stresses the destructive as well as constructive powers of a reporter's questions through personal anecdotes about courtroom and interview questioning.
