There are also different Types of Questioning these are: (1) according to thinking process involving from low level to high level. (2) According to type of answers required. (3) According to the degree of person exploring or valuing.

There are also Descriptive Categories of Questioning-Several authorities have formulated their own categories and models of questions and these are: (1) Cognitive memory questions, (2) Convergent question, (3) Divergent questions, (4) Evaluation questions.

The questions are designed to engage the learner in levels of cognitive task such as: concept formation, generalizing and inferring, and application of principles.
