Managerial questions are used to lead students into the next exercise.

2.Rhetorical

Rhetoric questions are not used to elicit a response


They are used to either remind students what they already know 


Used regularly, students get used to the underlying message of rhetoric questions, that the teacher is repeating something because it is important, and therefore I need to remember this.

3.Closed

These types of questions should be used where there is a specific answer or range of answers

used as a method of practising recall, to check retention and uncover misconceptions that can then be challenged and addressed.

Often, a closed question is followed up by an open question.

4.Open

They have no specific answer but force the respondent to provide an explanation.

follow up a correctly answered closed question with a simple “Why?” “You’re right but why?”.

It also highlights those who may have taken a shot in the dark with the closed question answer, allowing help them get to a stage where they understand the topic in depth.

When students are preparing for test, open questions really help them gain a deeper understanding of a subject than using closed questions.
