I found a video which is based on classroom activity called students generated test questions method on gurushala content library option, I choose the teaching strategy subject, then I found this video. You can watch this video to motivate students to ask questions,
https://gurushala.co/content/MjE2OQChanging Behaviors is the answer to this question ! Approach is something that needs to be worked on ! Teaching students to ask questions involves changing student behaviors. Yet, the only way to change student behaviors is to first change our teaching behaviors. If we take a closer look at how we are teaching, we may find that teaching students to ask questions is not harder than covering the curriculum–it is just using a different pedagogical practice. When we teach writing, we know that the most effective way to teach students to be writers is to model our own writing process for them. We stand in front of them and we actually write our narrative/story in front of them. We delete things, cross them out, move sentences, change words and so on. This modeling allows students to see how we process writing as we do it. The same can be done to teach students to ask questions. The simplest place to begin is to read an article from the newspaper or a portion of a textbook or a part of a chapter from a novel. As we read, we begin to ask our questions out loud in front of students. We say things like – “I wonder what …..?” “I am curious to know more about ….” “What else don’t I know about….?” Once we do this, we have students practice this set of skills on a similar piece of writing.
1. Create a Safe Environment ask questions Often students do not ask questions because they are afraid or uncomfortable. Ensure that your classroom is an environment in which students feel secure. Set some ground rules for your students that include respecting all questions, valuing all questions, and utilizing active listening. Practice asking questions at the start of a new unit by having your class think of as many questions about the new topic as they can. Write them all on the board without answering them. Keep going until they run out. This is a great first step to getting your students comfortable and thinking outside of the box. 2. Praise All Questions As an extension to creating a safe environment, be sure to give positive praise to ALL questions. This includes both the questions that are deep and those that are a little off track. By providing praise, you will encourage the questions to continue. Select some questions as inspiration for your next lab or project. Use a student question on your next test. Show your students that asking questions is valued in any and every way that you can. 3. Teach How to Ask Questions Sometimes student may not know how to start to ask a question. This is true for both younger students and those in high school! You can assist your students by posting question starters in a visible place in the room. These stems can include “why does…”, “how does ____ work”, and “what is the difference between…”. Another great way to teach questioning is by modeling asking questions to your students. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy is a great place to start. 4. End with Student Reflection ask questions While encouraging your students to ask questions is a great first step, ultimately we want it to become a habit. This is where reflection comes in. At the end of a great questioning session or class discussion, ask students to take five minutes to reflect on how questioning helped their thinking. This may even lead to new questions and curiosity that will keep them engaged in the future
