Research over the last sixty years has shown that, of teachers' questions, the predominating ones are those that are concerned with simple data and recall of facts already learned which fall under lower order questions. Several reasons for asking such questions have been proposed. Firstly, teachers feel that learners should learn to focus on facts that they must use when answering more interpretative questions later on. The second apparent reason is that teachers are not trained in the use of questioning strategies, and lastly teachers do not use a system to organize and classify questions. It is, therefore, imperative that teachers should inculcate the habit of asking more thought provoking questions so that learners' involvement in the process of learning increases. Another important consideration is that the teachers should make sure that the teaching materials provide an opportunity to ask focused questions that require learners to compare, contrast, persuade, and determine cause and effect, which would develop their process of thinking.
