របៀបសួរសំណួរបើកចំហ (80+ ឧទាហរណ៍ក្នុងឆ្នាំ 2025)

Closed yes/no questions give you polite nods, not genuine understanding. Open-ended questions, on the other hand, reveal what's actually happening in your audience's minds.

Research from cognitive psychology shows that when people articulate their thoughts in their own words, information retention improves by up to 50%. That's why facilitators, trainers, and presenters who master open-ended questioning consistently see higher engagement, better learning outcomes, and more productive discussions.

ការណែនាំនេះ breaks down everything you need to know about open-ended questions—what they are, when to use them, and 80+ examples you can adapt for your next training session, team meeting, or workshop.

តើ​សំណួរ​ចុង​ចំហ​មាន​អ្វីខ្លះ?

Open-ended questions are prompts that cannot be answered with a simple "yes," "no," or by selecting from pre-defined options. They require respondents to think, reflect, and articulate their thoughts in their own words.

លក្ខណៈសំខាន់ៗ៖

💬 Require thoughtful responses – Participants must formulate their own answers rather than choose from provided options

💬 Typically start with: What, Why, How, Tell me about, Describe, Explain

💬 Generate qualitative insights – Responses reveal motivations, feelings, thought processes, and unique perspectives

💬 Enable detailed feedback – Answers often include context, reasoning, and nuanced opinions

Why they matter in professional settings:

When you're running a training session, leading a team meeting, or facilitating a workshop, open-ended questions serve a critical function: they help you hold a mirror up to the room. Instead of assuming everyone's on the same page, you get real-time visibility into comprehension gaps, concerns, and breakthrough insights you might otherwise miss.

Starting presentations or training sessions with open-ended questions establishes psychological safety early. You signal that all opinions are valued, not just "correct" answers. This shifts participants from passive listeners to active contributors, setting the tone for genuine engagement rather than performative participation.

Open-Ended vs Closed-Ended Questions

Understanding when to use each type of question is essential for effective facilitation and survey design.

សំណួរបញ្ចប់ limit responses to specific options: yes/no, multiple choice, rating scales, or true/false. They're excellent for gathering quantitative data, tracking trends, and quick comprehension checks.

អ្វីដែលត្រូវធ្វើ និងមិនត្រូវធ្វើនៅពេលសួរសំណួរបើកចំហ

DOs

✅ Use question starters that invite elaboration: Begin with "What," "How," "Why," "Tell me about," "Describe," or "Explain." These naturally prompt detailed responses.

✅ Start with closed questions to make conversion easier: If you're new to open-ended questions, write a yes/no question first, then rework it. "Did you find value in this session?" becomes "What aspects of this session will be most useful in your work?"

✅ Deploy them strategically as follow-ups: After a closed question reveals something interesting, dig deeper. "75% of you said this process is challenging—what specific obstacles are you encountering?"

✅ Be specific to guide focused responses: Instead of "What did you think of the training?" try "What's one skill from today's session you'll use this week, and how?" Specificity prevents rambling and gives you actionable insights.

✅ Provide context when it matters: In sensitive situations (employee feedback, organisational change), explain why you're asking. "We're gathering input to improve our onboarding process" increases honest participation.

✅ Create space for written responses in virtual settings: Not everyone processes verbally at the same speed. Interactive tools that let participants type responses simultaneously give everyone equal opportunity to contribute, particularly in hybrid or international teams.

មិនត្រូវ

❌ Avoid overly personal questions in professional contexts: Questions like "Tell me about a time you felt inadequate at work" cross boundaries. Keep questions focused on professional experiences, challenges, and learning rather than personal feelings or sensitive situations.

❌ Don't ask vague, impossibly broad questions: "Describe your career goals" or "What's your approach to leadership?" are too expansive for a training session. You'll get unfocused responses or silence. Narrow the scope: "What's one leadership skill you want to develop this quarter?"

❌ Never ask leading questions: "How wonderful was today's workshop?" assumes a positive experience and shuts down honest feedback. Ask "What's your assessment of today's workshop?" instead, leaving room for all perspectives.

❌ Avoid double-barrelled questions: "How would you improve our communication and what changes would you make to team structure?" forces participants to tackle two distinct topics simultaneously. Break it into separate questions.

❌ Don't overload your session with too many open questions: Each open-ended question requires thinking time and response time. In a 60-minute training session, 3-5 strategically placed open questions work better than 15 that create fatigue and superficial responses.

❌ Don't ignore cultural and language considerations: In international or multicultural teams, some participants may need more processing time for complex open-ended questions, especially in a non-native language. Build in pauses, offer written response options, and be mindful of communication styles across cultures.

Training & Learning Development Sessions

For corporate trainers and L&D professionals, these questions help assess understanding, encourage application thinking, and identify barriers to implementation.

• What challenges do you anticipate when applying this technique in your daily work?
• How does this framework connect to a project you're currently working on?
• Describe a scenario where you'd use this skill in your role.
• What's one action you'll take this week based on what you've learned today?
• Tell me about a time when you encountered a problem similar to what we discussed—how did you handle it?
• What additional support or resources would help you implement these strategies?
• How might you adapt this approach for your specific team or department?
• What's the biggest barrier preventing you from using this skill, and how could we address it?
• Based on your experience, what would make this training more relevant to your work?
• How would you explain this concept to a colleague who wasn't here today?

Using AhaSlides for training assessment: Create an Open-Ended slide or Poll slide to collect responses during key moments in your training. Participants submit answers from their phones, and you can display responses anonymously to spark discussion without putting anyone on the spot. This works particularly well for questions about anticipated challenges or implementation barriers—people share more openly when they know their responses are anonymous.

Team Meetings & Workshops

These questions drive productive discussions, surface diverse perspectives, and turn meetings into collaborative problem-solving sessions rather than one-way information dumps.

• What problem do you want to solve in today's meeting?
• What's one outcome you need from this discussion?
• How can we improve the ways we collaborate on this project?
• What's blocking progress on this initiative, and what ideas do you have for moving forward?
• Tell me about a recent success on your team—what made it work?
• What's one thing we should continue doing, and one thing we should change?
• How has this challenge affected your team's ability to deliver results?
• What perspectives or information might we be missing in this discussion?
• What resources or support would help your team succeed with this goal?
• If you were leading this project, what would you prioritise first?
• What concerns haven't been addressed yet in this meeting?

Facilitating better meetings with live feedback: Use AhaSlides' Word Cloud feature to collect responses to questions like "What's blocking progress on this project?" Repeated themes emerge visually, helping teams identify shared challenges quickly. It's particularly effective in hybrid meetings where remote participants might hesitate to speak up—everyone's input appears simultaneously, creating equal visibility.

Employee Surveys & Feedback

HR professionals and managers can use these questions to gather authentic insights about employee experience, engagement, and organisational culture.

• What's one change our organisation could make that would significantly improve your day-to-day experience?
• Think about a time when you felt particularly valued here—what specifically happened?
• What skills or capabilities do you wish our team was better at developing?
• ប្រសិនបើអ្នកមានធនធានគ្មានដែនកំណត់ដើម្បីដោះស្រាយបញ្ហាប្រឈមមួយដែលយើងកំពុងជួបប្រទះ តើអ្នកនឹងដោះស្រាយអ្វី និងដោយរបៀបណា?
• តើ​អ្វី​ទៅ​ជា​អ្វី​ដែល​យើង​មិន​ទាន់​វាស់វែង​ដែល​អ្នក​ជឿ​ថា​យើង​គួរ​យក​ចិត្ត​ទុក​ដាក់?
• Describe a recent interaction that exceeded your expectations—what made it stand out?
• When you think about our culture, what's one thing you hope never changes, and one thing you hope evolves?
• តើ​យើង​គួរ​សួរ​សំណួរ​អ្វី​នៅ​ក្នុង​ការ​ស្ទង់​មតិ​នេះ ប៉ុន្តែ​មិន​បាន?
• What would make you feel more supported in your role?
• How could leadership communicate more effectively with your team?

Presentations & Keynotes

For speakers and presenters aiming to create engaging, memorable sessions that go beyond passive information delivery.

• Based on what you've heard so far, what questions are coming up for you?
• How does this relate to challenges you're seeing in your industry?
• What would success look like if you implemented this approach?
• Tell me about your experience with this issue—what patterns have you noticed?
• What's your biggest concern about the trend I just described?
• How might this play out differently in your specific context or region?
• What examples from your own work illustrate this point?
• If you could ask an expert one question about this topic, what would it be?
• What's one assumption I've made in this presentation that you'd challenge?
• What will you do differently after today's session?

Creating interactive presentations: Transform your standard presentation into a dialogue using AhaSlides' Q&A feature. Invite participants to submit questions throughout your talk, then address the most popular ones. This keeps audiences engaged because they know their specific concerns will be heard, and it gives you real-time insight into what's landing and what needs clarification.

អេអេសស្លេស

AhaSlides transforms standard presentations into engaging experiences with built-in features designed for professional facilitators, trainers, and presenters.

Best for open-ended questions:

Open-Ended slides: Participants type paragraph responses from their phones. Perfect for questions requiring detailed answers: "Describe a scenario where you'd apply this technique."

Brainstorm slides: Works similarly to Open-Ended slide but allows participants to vote for the answers they like.

ពពកពាក្យ៖ Visual feedback tool that displays responses as a word cloud, with frequently mentioned terms appearing larger. Brilliant for: "In one or two words, how are you feeling about this change?" or "What's the first word that comes to mind when you think about our team culture?"

Why it works for trainers: You can create comprehensive training presentations with polls, quizzes, and open-ended questions all in one place—no switching between tools. Responses save automatically, so you can review feedback later and track participation over multiple sessions. The anonymous option encourages honest feedback in sensitive topics (organisational change, performance concerns, etc.).

Real-time visibility into everyone's thinking helps you adjust facilitation on the fly. If 80% of responses indicate confusion on a concept, you know to slow down and provide more examples before moving forward.

Open-ended questions are your most powerful tool for transforming passive audiences into engaged participants. They reveal genuine understanding, surface unexpected insights, and create psychological safety that encourages honest dialogue.

Your participants want to be heard. Open-ended questions give them that opportunity, and in doing so, they give you the insight you need to deliver training, meetings, and presentations that genuinely make an impact.
