What is the right balance between open and closed questions? If closed questions: - don't elicit a response to show understanding - usually only requires recall - require 'guess what the teacher is thinking' - will identify content knowledge then I suggest - if indeed we can quantifiy - the balance should be 80 - 20. Like anything there is a a time and a place for everything and if our intention is to support 21stC learners then open questions should be given much more time and place.
