It's one of the staples of teaching - asking questions to check student understanding. The traditional imagery is of a teacher at the front of a room asking questions and students with their hands up to show they can answer.

Alfie Kohn has some strong feelings about all of this and recently wrote a great post called "Your hand's not raised? Too bad. I'm calling on you anyway"
