Thinking is the core of intelligence. The thinking process of students often begins with questions. Questions with knowledge will add an element of suspense to the mind of students. Then we carry on our teaching. To a large extent, the process of teaching is to guide students to continuously raise questions and then answer them. In order to ensure the continuity and high efficiency of the teaching process, we must make the questions prominent all the time and everywhere in the entire teaching activity. This thesis is based on some theories like David Pawl Ausubel’s Cognitive Learning Theory, Theory of Zone of Proximal Development and Constructivism Learning Theory. To design a problem refers to deliberately design a series of concrete questions and enable students to actively participate in the class activities of each link, in order to realize the interaction between teacher and students.In this thesis, through research and practice of questioning in physics class, the author tries to study what principles we should apply to when it comes to the selection of breakthrough point, the methods and the questioning art. Research shows that classroom learning efficiency improves when the questioning takes place at the growing point, the most important and difficult, detailed part of these questions. Creating questions at the most important and difficult part can attract the students’ attention. To be clear about the key will help them to grasp the essence of class and tackle the difficulty. Focusing on growing point of knowledge can improve the flexibility of the minds of students. Creating questions at the detailed part of knowledge can cultivate students’ thinking agility, training students’divergent thinking.In order to attract students’ attention and make them think actively, as well as to enhance the effect of rhetorical questions, we use such methods as suspense, leading and extension. Suspense can stimulate students to think quickly; leading inspire students to solve the problem, develop various abilities and improve ideological awareness. Extension can help to raise the students’interest, and arouse the students’ positive thinking as well.Also we must observe certain principles when creating some questions, namely, effectiveness, appropriateness and equality. To make the questions qualified to activate students’ thinking, guide them to explore and discover more, we must be effective. To enable these designed questions to achieve the best teaching effect in the limited time, we must be appropriate. To make all students participate in thinking, we must be equal.During the practice of teaching, we should pay attention to the creation of active atmosphere of questioning and answering, the skills of timely handling the feedback of students to give the chance of asking back to them. Research shows that, first, to make students active in class, we must create an active and pleasant classroom atmosphere. Second, timely feedback to the students is an important factor affecting the quality of teaching. It not only helps teachers adjust to the teaching content, but helps them appropriately make some changes in the teaching procedure, strategies and methods. Third, we should be good at handling the unexpected. It makes sense if the teachers can handle with ease a variety of emergencies. Finally, give the chance of questioning back to students. The students are no longer passive to accept knowledge, but actively observing, thinking, finding questions and exploring to solve them independently. We must let them learn what they want to learn, know what they really want to know, making the classroom become the main position of innovative talent training. All in all, the goal of creating questions is to make classroom learning full of spiritual creation process, and make it a relaxing and happy journey of the mind, as well as a wonderful presentation for wisdom.In the end, the author reflects on the whole thesis, puts forward some teaching suggestions and makes an assumption for future research direction.
