 Questioning in the
Primary School

Teachers ask thousands of questions in a year. The ability to ask intelligent and
searching questions, to use questioning for different purposes and to know
what to do with the answer is crucial to teachers of all subjects. It is one of the
core teaching skills that informs good practice and can help improve pupils’
learning.
In Questioning in the Primary School, Ted Wragg and George Brown explore:

• the range of questions that teachers can ask, from those requiring simple
recall of information right up to those that stimulate complex reasoning,
imagination and speculation
• the various strategies open to teachers that, through a combination of
activities and discussion points, help them to build up a repertoire of
ideas, approaches and techniques which are suitable for various
situations

• the ways in which teachers can evaluate the effectiveness of their ques-
tions in the classroom

Children’s own thinking and learning can be improved significantly if they

have the opportunity to respond to teachers’ questions and to enjoy the process
of interaction with them. This book concentrates on everyday use of questions
in the classroom, whether in organised groups, for individual learning or for
whole class activities.

Ted Wragg is Professor of Education at Exeter University and the author of over
40 books. He has directed numerous research projects, analysed hundreds of
lessons and writes a regular column for the Times Educational Supplement.
George Brown is a Professor in Education at Nottingham University and is also
an Education Consultant.
