Oral questioning is a dynamic assessment method where the assessor verbally evaluates a learner’s understanding, often used to supplement practical demonstrations or written tests. It is particularly effective for verifying the underpinning knowledge behind a physical task, allowing the assessor to probe why a specific procedure was followed. To maintain validity and consistency, this method relies on a pre-prepared list of questions mapped to specific competency standards. The assessor utilizes a response sheet to document the learner’s answers and check them against model responses. This structure ensures the assessment is objective while accommodating learners who may struggle with written literacy.
