Encouraging Learner Contributions First ask student opinion, ask in a friendly way… what is his point of view?...how would he have answered the question? (Depending on the topic).
If we want to have student grow independet thinking, then it would probably be best to have them work in pairs and compare each other's answer and come up with just one, let them explain why did they come up with that answer. Have them post it, and answer to at least two other contributions (for peers feedback). that way they will work in teams and interchange information and at the same time grow confidence to ask and compare and aswer one anothers doubts.
I think that something that has a lot to do with this, is letting them know that they can make mistakes and make the corrections when they feel they have the right answer. Sometimes students are afraid to make mistakes and feel they will get a bad grade if they make a mistake.
