Developing a โ€˜goodโ€™ question
Questioning can be divided into:
Questioning skills         Question types

โ€ข skills that allow        โ€ข relate to the purpose
  individuals to ask         of the question (ie.
  โ€˜goodโ€™ questions (ie.      request, clarifying,
  questions that are         enquiry)
  clearly structured and
  relevant to an area of
  interest)
Skills involved in asking โ€˜goodโ€™ questions

  1. Awareness of a need for information (gaps in
     personal knowledge)
  2. Clarification of what information is needed
  3. Constructing/phrasing relevant questions
     (using appropriate vocabulary)

  4. Asking a range of relevant questions(that are
     relevant to the interest area (context) and to
     the information sought)
5. Asking the range of questions from a variety
  of appropriate sources for information (which
  are relevant, creditable)

6. Persistence in finding answers, and editing
 (changing, altering) questions when necessary
 (eg. Use of key words to begin and refine
 search for information)
Exercise
โ€ข Look at the interest
  area/general question/s
  you have decided on.

โ€ข What information do you
  want?

โ€ข What are key words that
  you need, to find
  relevant information?
โ€ข Break your interest
  area/question into a series
  of smaller, progressive
  questions (simple to more
  complex)

โ€ข Decide where you might look
  for relevant, credible
  information for each of the
  questions

โ€ข Key words to begin search
  (appropriate to interest area)
Does your question:

โ€“ have relevance to your interest area (context)?

โ€“ contain key words and interlinks between ideas
  (specific to context)?

โ€“ incorporate โ€˜utilityโ€™ words to assist in finding
  relevant information (who, what, when, where,
  why, which)?
For next week:

What type of answers are you looking for?

  โ€“ Factual (Objective, Quantitative)


  โ€“ Views/experiences of other people (subjective,
    Qualitative)

             or a combination of both?
