Plain English Meaning

Instead of answering a learner's question themselves, the instructor sends it to another learner to answer. This keeps everyone thinking and involved.

Full Definition

In learner-centered assessment, a questioning technique in which the instructor takes a question or response from one learner and passes it to another learner in the group, prompting them to answer, build on, or evaluate it rather than the instructor responding directly.

Context Anchor

Seen in flight instructor discussions of assessment, feedback, and coaching during ground lessons, simulator sessions, and flight training.

Derivation

From Latin re- ('again') and dirigere ('to direct'). To redirect is literally to send something in a different direction — here, sending a question away from the instructor and toward another learner.
