As an education candidate, I am aware of the importance of using questioning and discussion techniques during learning. Within the attached video, I use a variety of questions and prompts to challenge students cognitively, advance high-level thinking and discourse, and promote metacognition. I use questions to inspire students to think more broadly about the topic at hand and memorize key details. Students think about their own thought processes compared to that of others and can self-correct or learn a different strategy. In the video, I asked students discuss and brainstorm with their partners to come up with different nonstandard units of measurement that could equal an inch. This is a Reflective level question because students are having to reflect on the knowledge they already have of what an inch looks like in order to think of non-standard units that could also equal about an inch. I know the importance of students challenging one another's thinking in order to strike deeper thinking strategies. By conducting the think pair share strategy, students are able to discuss thinking strategies with one another and then as a whole group. This type of open discussion allows all students to ensure that their voices are heard. Another thing that I do is have students mirror the questions that I am asking them. This allows them to deeply think about the question at hand and provides students who struggle with more wait time. Students make contributions to the discussion by talking to their partners and coming up with strategies. In this video, I also had students use their manipulatives in order to point and show me what side of the ruler measures inches. This allowed students to review what the inches side of the ruler looks like compared to the centimeters side, and allowed for self correction as a group if students got it wrong. These strategies follow along with the research of Benjamin Bloom, who created Bloom's Taxonomy. I allow students to explore different strategies that can be seen in the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. I allow my students to enhance their knowledge by exploring these different levels as they advance.
