I have a student that asks questions incessantly, best tips for this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A lot of times, the older students get, the more intimidated they are to ask questions. This is often due to years of students making fun of their questions, their peers laughing at them, or teachers invalidating questions. Therefore it is important to approach this case with sensitivity, as you don't want to send the message that their question is "dumb" or that their question does not matter. Something you may want to try, is have students split into a few teams halfway through a lesson and have them discuss their questions with one another (just for about two minutes or so). This allows them to collaboratively learn. It may also enable students to realize they have similar questions that they can solve together. If there are still any unanswered questions, you could call on each team to collectively share their unanswered questions at the end of this activity, and respond to them.                 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: This is a great way to solve this problem. I love that you mentioned not making the student feel embarrassed or dumb because I've had teachers do that to me in the past so I didn't like asking questions for a while Rated On: October 8, 2023 10:02 pm Rated By: Zygepy
