My Ct asks a lot of questions at the memory and application level. She checks to make sure the students know the facts or steps but also asks procedural questions that deal with application questions to make sure the students are able to apply the information they have learned. She also asked some evaluative questions to make sure students are understanding the lecture as she is explaining the material. She does not ask any divergent questions. She does not require them to try and think beyond the facts and applying them. The students do not ask any convergent questions. They do not ask many questions at all especially relating to the content they are learning. They do not seem to care how things apply or why they do. They only ask if they have to have information memorized or if it will be given to them on the test. The teacher is not engaging in higher order thinking with her students or challenging them to think of other applications they can use the content for in the real world. This makes the students lose credibility for the usefulness of the information causing them to quickly dismiss it and even forget it.
