DESIGN AND DELIVERY
What are you Asking?
Description
Learning is a complex multidimensional process that goes far beyond cognitive input. But how can we design true quality learning? Here is where the role of questions is essential.
Whether you are teaching on-line or in person, oral or highly literate learners, students engaging in a basic discipleship course or preparing for doctoral studies, quality learning emerges from quality questions. Recognising that our students are whole people, we can enrich their learning experience at every level, designing questions that touch not only the mind, but also our character and behaviour.
Our service as theological educators will improve greatly as we develop quality questions at higher levels of cognitive learning, across the affective domain of learning, and in the promotion of behavioural learning through dialogue between theory and practice.
