Are you one of the teachers who likes when a student often asks a number of questions while learning is in progress?
Or have you ever asked yourself about something ?. Many people think that a lot of questions are supposed to be stupid, whereas knowledge basically always begins with a question. Issac Newton for example, who discovered the theory of gravity, initially from observing then asked himself "why the apple falling down not upward?".
In the context of learning in school too, through asking students are expected to be a reliable thinker and independent. They are stimulated to be able to develop innovative new ideas and testing, develop learning methods, ask classroom questions, brainstorm and interact. The learning process allows students to develop the freedom to expel the aspirations, in the form of a good question and answer from students and teachers and even test an idea or theory or practice organizing in accordance with the facts and reasoning that exists. This will help to shape the scientific mindset. Questions can lead to learning activities while having fun discussions. [1]
The importance of animating the study space with student questions
Questions or questions are sentences that are expressed to get information or information on something that has not been fully understood. So, asking is expressing a sentence orally or writing to get the information we need.
The success of teaching in addition supported by the liveliness of students who learn, is also strongly influenced a teacher's skills in managing the teaching and learning process. Teachers should know the different types of teaching skills, one type of teaching skill is the student's questioning skill. [2]
The importance of asking lies in the reason we get information from the disciples. There are many reasons why we should get the information. For example I asked my students whether they understood the terms of a letter. The information received from my students will be used to decide whether they have been able to write letters properly and correctly or not. If they can not, then I go on with another question, for example, "Of all the requirements of writing letters, which parts are harder to do?" The remarks will help me to concentrate on certain things so I can help students I did it.
There is a saying that you must have heard it "Shame to ask then will go astray on the road". Yes, that's what happens if you want to go to a destination and you do not know about it, but shy to ask. As a result you will be circling only ,. The time and energy you devote to finding it becomes much wasted. Unlike the case if you ask someone who controls the area, so you can know the correct direction and direction. In fact you can save more time and energy, because you are told a practical course of course to quickly get to the destination. [3]
So is the learning process. Learning ptentu teaches things that students do not know so they can do it. Of course a number of questions will arise from a teacher, from where to begin learning. How to learn easy to understand students etc.
