Teaching is challenging students to learn in all three areas. The procurement of knowledge is determined by evaluating student achieve-ment in these six areas. Teachers seldom ask thought-provoking questions. Teachers prefer objective tests because they are easier and quicker to grade. Teachers ask more questions in class than on tests.
Teachers tend to use poor questioning techniques both in class and on tests.
Students tend to avoid answering oral questions in class. Students have difficulty with essay-type tests. Teachers struggle with writing critical-thinking questions. Teachers tend to write test questions the night before a test. It also requires an understanding of the test-construction guidelines common to the different types of test questions.
