Questioning strategy is one of the universally acceptable strategies for the effective teaching of business education subjects at all levels in our educational institutions. This study therefore was designed to assess the effectiveness of business studies teachers in using questioning strategy in Anambra State Secondary Schools. The evaluative survey design was adopted. Two research
questions and two null hypothesis tested at 0.05 level of significant guided the study. The population of the study comprised of 255 business studies heads of department in Anambra State secondary schools. The instrument developed by the researcher was used for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using mean rating and t-test inferential statistics. The finding reveals that secondary
school business studies teachers were not popularly using recommended teaching strategies and they were not also effective in the use of questioning strategy. Based on this, it was recommended that secondary school business studies teachers should avail themselves regularly of short training programmes so as to improve on their teaching effectiveness.
Key words: Assessment, Business teachers, effectiveness, questioning, strategy.
