Characteristics of Effective Questions
The instructor should frame the question in such a way as to get a very specific answer; the question should be on the edge of the students abilities, causing the student to think about why a response would be correct or incorrect.
· One correct answer
· There should only be one correct answer, though it may be expressed in a variety of ways.
· Must apply
· The questions must apply to the particular training being conducted. Otherwise, they will only confuse the student.
· Brief and Concise
· The question must be brief and concise. Make sure though, that both you and your student have the same understanding of what is being asked.
· Center on one Idea
· Not a combination of different questions, but very clear questions.
· Present a challenge to the students
· It should be just on the edge of the students ability.
· Be in good, proper English!
· Don’t use slang, or foul language.
Types of questions to avoid
Avoid “do you understand?” because if you have to ask they probably don’t. Be aware of the following
· Do you understand? Any questions?
· Provides no evidence of their comprehension · Too easy to answer yes or no to avoid confrontation · Puzzle
· Too much info in the question. · Cryptic questions. The student needs to solve a puzzle to determine what is being asked. · Oversize · A question that would require an hour to fully answer · How does the helicopter work? · Toss up · Things that my confuse the student, because they could both be right. · Does the nose yaw left or right when raising collective? The answer promotes guessing.
· Bewilderment
· Too technical for anyone who’s not a rocket scientist. · Including too much information in a question only confuses the student.
· Trick questions
· Intentionally stumping the student · Ask a detailed question instead; don’t try to trick someone who is learning new stuff, its just not cool man.
Irrelevant questions
· “Why is the sky blue?” · Keep the questions inline with what is being taught.
