Questioning to increase Rigor
Questioning is a great way to increase rigor in the classroom. Robert Marzano has compiled four types of questions to ask students to help increase rigor:
They are as follows: 1) Detail Questions: Asking questions about important details.
Students describe what they see in one area and identify how it is different or similar in another area. For example, the teacher may ask students to describe and compare what they saw on the slide with the animal cell with what they saw on the slide with the plant cell. To work in higher complexity, students must identify the difference and assign weight to it using evidence, which requires deeper thinking.
Here, students must explain why or answer the question what if. These questions have the potential for increased rigor by allowing the students to speculate and make projections. 4) Evidence Questions: identify sources and examine reasoning.
