My problem is that when I ask those high order thinking questions student just sit there with blank stares and no one responses. When I then ask the question in a different form I feel that I am just "dumbing" down the question and the purpose is lost. What are some things I can do to increase my questioning depth without "losing" the students? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that practicing answering these types of questions first would be beneficial. Also, you need to make sure that everyone understands the question and your terminology. You could also show examples of someone answering a higher order question and comment/discuss about what he or she had to do in order to come about that conclusion.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree.
