LET Reviewer: 5 Types of Questions:
5 Types of Questions:
1. Factual - It is
the type of question that is reasonably simple and straight forward. The answers are based on obvious facts or awareness and
commonly requires one fact based answers. It is at the lowest level
of cognitive or affective processes.
Example: What is the name of the little girl in the story?
2. Convergent - It is the type of question that requires inferences
or conjecture. Answers to this type of
question is usually within a very finite range
of acceptable accuracy.
Example: What were the reason why the boy got mad? (This is not
specifically stated in one direct statement in the text or story so, the reader
must make simple inferences as to why the boy got mad.)
3. Divergent - It is the type of question that allows the learners to
generate variety of answers. This type of question often requires students
to analyze, synthesize, or evaluate a knowledge base and then project or
predict different outcomes.
Example: In the story, what do you think will happen to the boy
if he ran away from their home?
4. Evaluative - It is
the type of question that usually requires sophisticated levels
of cognitive and emotional judgment. To answer evaluative question,
the students must combine multiple logical and affective thinking process
or comparative frameworks. Answers in this type of question is
analyzed at multiple levels and from different perspective to arrive at the
newly synthesized information or conclusions.
Example: What are the similarities and differences between
Erikson and Freuds theory of development?
5. Combinations -
It is the combination of the types of questions above.
