questioning skills

Questioning skills are abilities that allow you to analyse concepts or situations and ask
relevant questions about them. These skills can allow you to understand different
aspects of your career by knowing the right questions to ask
Here are some reasons to develop these skills:
Getting clarity
Testing knowledge
Expressing interest
Encouraging thought
Examples of questioning skills

1. Knowing types of questions


Knowing the types of questions you can ask can help you formulate specific
questions depending on your audience. For example, if you're questioning a company
policy, knowing the type of question to ask can lead to receiving an accurate response.
Types of questions include
Closed questions
Open questions
Leading questions
Recall questions
Funneling questions
2. Asking appropriate questions
It's essential to ask appropriate questions depending on the respondent. You can
ask a question directed towards a colleague, superior or client. How you phrase your
question to each individual can vary in tone and language. Knowing how to phrase your
questions appropriately can help you obtain information while maintaining respect for
superiors and clients.
3. Knowing when to ask questions
It's important to know the right time to ask questions. If you have an urgent
question about a work assignment that has a deadline, consider asking your question
early to prevent any confusion as you perform your task. When asking a supervisor a
question, consider asking them during morning hours to give them time to respond or at
the end of the day after they complete their job duties.
4. Having possible answers
Thinking about possible answers to your questions can help you decide what
questions to ask and how to phrase them. If you find that some of your questions don't
have clear answers, you can rephrase or change them to get clarity. Coming up with
potential answers can also help you improve your skills by allowing you to ask more
creative and in-depth questions.
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Here are the authors’ brief explanations of these main categories in from
the appendix of Taxonomy of Educational Objectives (Handbook One, pp.
201-207):

1. Knowledge “involves the recall of specifics and universals, the recall of methods


and processes, or the recall of a pattern, structure, or setting.”
2. Comprehension “refers to a type of understanding or apprehension such that the
individual knows what is being communicated and can make use of the material or
idea being communicated without necessarily relating it to other material or seeing
its fullest implications.”
3. Application refers to the “use of abstractions in particular and concrete situations.”
4. Analysis represents the “breakdown of a communication into its constituent
elements or parts such that the relative hierarchy of ideas is made clear and/or the
relations between ideas expressed are made explicit.”
5. Synthesis involves the “putting together of elements and parts so as to form a
whole.”
6. Evaluation engenders “judgments about the value of material and methods for
given purposes.”
