Teacher Training Resources for Using Questions as a Bible Teaching Method
Questions could be either student generated or asked by the teacher. Teachers must know how to respond as well as how to ask good questions. Or, questions could simply be in a question/answer format or with the intent of leading to discussion. Teachers should therefore be familiar with both uses of questions.
Questions can be used to get students' attention, guide them in understanding Bible content, and help them think through the implications and application of the lesson.
Check out the three-page worksheet, Work Your Way Through the Lesson with Questions Worksheet, to look at types of questions that can be used in the various parts of a Bible lesson, and practice developing such questions.
