Collaborative questioning is a technique you can use to explore a learner’s understanding – in this case when teaching in a layered learning context, in other words with multiple learners at different levels of training at once.
When questioning collaboratively with multiple learners, you:
- Elicit knowledge levels by asking questions and identifying possible gaps
- Expand on a learner’s initial thoughts and foster further follow-up questions
- Encourage learners to explore topics they want to know more about
- Explore next steps together and deliberately model not knowing
