Open-ended questions - Especially for Children
[Pages:1]OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
It is important that adults use effective questioning techniques when speaking with children. Asking numerous questions is not always a useful technique. Instead, ask fewer questions that require more thought on the child's part. Give the child time to process the question and listen to the child's answer. Being listened to strengthens a child's desire to participate. Also, by listening to the child's answers we learn more about that child and can encourage dialogue.
Open-ended questions promote discussion and require decision-making skills.
Closed-ended questions (sometimes called single-answer questions) demand few decision-making skills and are most often answered with yes or no.
