HRASE is a questioning hierarchy suggested by Penick, Crow and Connstetter (1996), as depicted by Michael P. Clough in his article:  What is so important about asking questions?

I really like the premise of this questioning method because I feel that it works the students toward higher levels of critical thinking.  Here is a brief description of the HRASE hierarchy, as shown by Clough (2007, pg. 1):


H
istory - Ask questions that relate to students' experiences
          What did you do when...?
Relationships - Ask questions that have students compare ideas, data, activities, etc.
          How does this compare to...?
Application - Ask questions that require students to use knowledge in new contexts
          What safety issues could this solve?
Speculation - Ask questions that require thinking beyond the given information
          What would happen if you...?
Explanation - Ask questions to get at the underlying reasons or processes
          How does that work?

If you're having trouble finding the HRASE article, look up Penick, John E; Crow, Linda W; Bonnstetter, Ronald J (there is a small typo in the article.) You can find it here: http://search.proquest.com/openview/c6e185d587dfc0ad55d039a79ec83fda/1?pq-origsite=gscholar
