How confident are our teachers in terms of using a range of questioning strategies?
When designing the content for Guide To Questioning, I turned to my small network of teachers to gather their views on questioning in the classroom. At the time of writing, over 14,000 pieces of data have been collected and evaluated in the following summary.
Anyone can take part in the survey (it remains permanently open). Over the last month, 300+ teachers have responded. The reason? To help teachers work more efficiently in the classroom and refine professional development needs.
This information will guide me when I lead teacher training sessions for the forthcoming academic year, and you may wish to take this information back to your educational setting.
Most respondents are female; 72.9 per cent, with 0.3% identified as non-binary or genderqueer and 0.7% preferred not to disclose their gender. This data (roughly) mirrors the overall statistics of the profession collected by the Department for Education.
