The Development of Questioning Skills through <i>Hikmah</i> (Wisdom) Pedagogy

Abstract

The ability to ask and answer questions is central to learning. Questioning is one of the thinking processes that can stimulate critical thinking among students. However, it can be seen that students have yet to master the questioning skill and are still in the lower order thinking (LOTs) questions. Therefore, this research aims to improve students questioning after the implementation of Hikmah Pedagogy. The research will reveal student's improvement in critical thinking through the evidence from student's questions. The subjects of the study consist of 27 students who are chosen to participate in the implementation of Hikmah Pedagogy. The results show an improvement where the students were able to produce questions from lower order thinking questions (LOTs) to higher order thinking questions (HOTs) according to Hierarchy of Bloom's Taxonomy. This research recommends teacher to apply Hikmah Pedagogy in order to enhance critical thinking among students.
