What is a recommended approach to question formulation in SAFMEDS?

Formulating straightforward and easily understood questions is crucial in the SAFMEDS (Say All Fast a Minute Each Day Shuffle) approach because it maximizes comprehension and retention among learners. The primary goal of SAFMEDS is to enhance fluency in knowledge areas, which requires that students can rapidly and accurately respond to the questions posed. When questions are clear and simple, they reduce cognitive load, allowing learners to focus on articulating their knowledge rather than deciphering complex wording. This clarity promotes better engagement and a higher likelihood of mastering the material, as students can more easily grasp what is being asked of them and respond effectively.

In contrast, using complicated terminology may confuse learners, and focusing solely on abstract concepts could detract from the practical application of the material. Additionally, questions without right answers do not support the targeted practice that SAFMEDS aims to provide, which is about building specific, measurable competencies.
