Asking the right questions: Questioning as a tool for assessment
Welcome to the first in a three-part webinar series for trainers, coaches, assessors and tutors working in FE & Skills. This series will help you with questioning, feedback and assessing learning with confidence.
By the end of this session participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between open, closed and probing questions.
- Write and ask questions that clearly check a learner’s knowledge and skills.
- Spot and avoid common pitfalls such as leading questions or asking too many at once.
How can questioning move beyond a tick-box exercise to unlocking what a learner knows and can demonstrate.
This session looks at practical ways to make your questioning more purposeful, varied and confidence-building for learners and you as an assessor.
We’ll explore different question types, share examples from contexts, and look at small tweaks that make a big difference.
Upcoming webinars in the series
3rd December - Assessing learning with confidence
17th December - Feedback that fuels growth: turning comments into action
Links to register for these and any future webinars will be sent to attendees.
