Dialogic Feedback - Questioning Approach

The following examples describe a feedback practice on how a teacher responds to students' questions and how this approach could  help students to learn by themselves.

Description: Use questioning method to respond to students questions in order to force them to think from the ‘First Principle’, which could help the students with other principles for the class discussion.

What teacher does (and when) –
Responds to students with question rather than giving an answer when students ask the teacher questions; and
Delivers the materials based on ‘First Principle’, in which students have to condense a lot of information down into principles

What students do (and when) –
'Boil' a vast amount of information materials into more condense principles

Teacher’s comments
In the discipline of real estate and construction, the teacher indicated the skill in how to convince clients was particularly valued because there was no right or wrong answer;
The teacher thought the idea of ‘First Principle’ approach really could help students to learn independently in the future; and
The teacher commented that the interactive 'First Principle' approach could take place in all kinds of applications
