Question

For 50 minutes a parks trainer has asked only yes/no questions. Learners stay quiet except for one-word answers. What is the problem?

Accepted Answer

Closed-only questioning fails to involve learners and does not check application, so the instructor should mix question types. — Fifty minutes of true/false is a traffic light that never turns green—you get stop or go, never a story about the job. Mix in open, probe, and application items or parks staff will hide in yes and no. Quiet one-word answers are a warning light, not a diploma.

Answer

Closed questions are the only valid check of adult learning, so the quiet is expected mastery.

Answer

Silence after yes/no items means the group is finished, so the trainer should stop asking anything.

Answer

The trainer should replace all questions with a vendor video so no thinking is required.
