Using Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Questions to Encourage Deep Thinking: Intentional Questioning as an Instructional Strategy

 

Session Description:
Do you ask thought provoking questions or are most of your questions asking students to repeat information from only moments ago? Asking questions during a library session is a simple and effective means to engage students, though asking good questions takes planning. The paper explores the pedagogical approach to asking thought provoking questions and encourage students learning. The authors will discuss the roots of inquiry found in the ACRL Framework as well as Depth of Knowledge analysis as a means to develop outcome-oriented questions. The authors will conclude with recommendations for integrating questions into lesson plans for information literacy sessions.
