Revision question · Band 4 publications, instructional techniques

What should you do when a pupil gives a partially correct answer to a question?

Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

Answer options

Stop the pupil from responding further to prevent them from interrupting the flow of the lesson

Confirm the correct parts and then help the pupil to work out why the other parts were wrong

Ignore the correct part of the response, but offer a full explanation

Ask the pupil to make more of an effort with their study of The Highway Code

Show the answer

Confirm the correct parts and then help the pupil to work out why the other parts were wrongThis was the right answer

You may need to check your pupil's understanding by asking questions. If they offer a partially correct answer, you should confirm the correct parts and, to complete their understanding, give them feedback on where they went wrong.
