It has been said that a question needs to be asked and re-asked several times for it to be fully effective. In other words, a question should be asked perhaps four times, or in four different ways for it to have the cognitive impact on students, as intended by the teacher. What is the point behind this?
I) Students can be distracted and questions need to be re-asked
II) A good question needs to be drawn out four times
III) Students don’t always get questions the first time, re-asking them adds clarity
IV) For a student to process a question critically, repetition can be useful
