Norman/Taba Forum Reply

    Respond to the fellow classmate's forum response as if you are a classmate giving you positive/negative opinions/views of their post- Use the uploaded 'example' of a response to guide you- Their instructions for their post from the professor are in the following parenthesis: “Taba Questioning Strategy“ “Consider the module readings, and Google Hilda Taba to find out more about her philosophy of education- Consider whether the Taba questioning strategy is appropriate for elementary and secondary students- Why or why not? How can this strategy be integrated into fundamental teaching strategies such as cooperative learning, field trip activities, role playing, inductive learning, etc?“ Peer Student's Post for Critique by Norman/Forum: From as far back as Socrates to the modem essential question of the UBD framework, questions have been considered an essential tool for learning- Hilda Taba’s contribution is an overarching template for using questions in the classroom- Graig Roland (2007) succinctly sums up Taba’s strategy: “She suggests that teachers begin with questions that require recall of information, followed by questions that require processing that information (e-g- by classifying, comparing, or evaluating), and then ask questions that require students to apply what they are learning to develop generalizations or new kinds of knowledge” (p, 1-2)- I feel like Taba’s strategy would work for any age from elementary to adult, if for no other reason than it seems to be simple common sense- When solving a math equation, you being with the known and that is exactly where Taba’s questioning strategy begins. rt seeks to establish what facts are known and then builds off that foundation- The profundity of this strategy lies in its simplicity- To use a rather middle school level comparison, I would say that if the Socratic Method and Bloom’s Taxonomy had a child, it would be Taba’s questioning strategy-
