The power of questions
- 1. THE POWER OF QUESTIONS Mark Gillow Lead Instructional Designer The Thinker by Auguste Rodin
- 2. THE QUESTION IS… Why are there so many little questions in education when Marie Curie spent her whole life on one BIG question.
- 3. THE QUESTION IS… Why must I find answers to already answered questions when I have questions that have not yet been answered.
- 5. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS These are questions which touch our hearts and souls. They are central to our lives. They help define what it means to be human.
- 6. ESSENTIAL EXAMPLES What do I want to do with my life? How do I cope with the loss of a loved one? What does it mean to be a good friend? How do I want to live?
- 7. TELLING QUESTIONS They focus investigation so that we gather only the very specific evidence or information that we require. They provide sorting and sifting during the gathering and discovery process.
- 8. TELLING EXAMPLES What is the violent crime rate for Australia’s capital cities? Which are the most popular VET courses in Australia? How much money does Australia devote to foreign aid? What is the youth unemployment rate in Queensland?
- 9. PROBING QUESTIONS They take us below the surface to the heart of the matter. They rely on a person’s gut feelings – these feelings are part logic, prior knowledge, intuition and trial-and-error.
- 10. PROBING EXAMPLES What happens if I click on this link? Which way do I feel is the right way to go? How has the author structured this website/information? Have I seen a problem similar to this one in the past?
- 11. HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS They are designed to explore possibilities and test relationships. They project a theory or option out into the future – wondering what would happen if...? They are useful when trying to decide between choice or when solving a problem.
- 12. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES How would Australia be different if the French settled here instead? How would education be different if everyone was home schooled? What would change if Australia had a large permanent inland sea? How would life change if the earth had no moon?
- 13. PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS They are meant to push, to challenge and to throw conventional wisdom off balance. They give free reign to doubt, disbelief and scepticism. They play a positive role in debunking propaganda, mythologies, hype and spin.
- 14. PROVOCATIVE EXAMPLES What is the point in doing all this work? Who cares if a species goes extinct? Why are we wasting all this time studying fractions? Who said the author was an expert on anything?
- 15. IRRELEVANT QUESTIONS They distract us from the task at hand – that is their beauty. The creation of new knowledge almost always requires some wandering off course. Truth may not appear where we might logically look.
- 16. IRRELEVANT EXAMPLES Did Captain Cook take a dog with him on his voyages? Did Neil Armstrong use the toilet just before he walked on the moon? What do you do in your spare time Premier/Prime Minister/President? Did Ned Kelly ever play cricket?
- 17. CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS They seek to define words, jargon, concepts and phrases. They ask about the underlying assumptions and methods used so nothing is taken for granted.
- 18. CLARIFICATION EXAMPLES How did they determine what is ‘popular’? What does the government mean by ‘foreign aid’? What do they mean by ‘violent crime rate’? How do they define ‘mental illness’?
- 19. PLANNING QUESTIONS They lift us above the action of the moment and require us to think about how we will get the job done. They prevent us from wasting time and effort following dead ends.
- 20. PLANNING EXAMPLES What resources are needed to complete the project in the time available? What are all the tasks that need to be completed? Which tasks depend on others being completed first? Who should project manage this?
- 21. SORTING QUESTIONS They determine if something is useful or relevant. They keep our output short and succinct.
- 22. SORTING EXAMPLES Which pictures are worth keeping/adding? Which video improves my understanding? Which of these quotes enhances my assignment? Who should I employ on this project?
- 23. WHAT QUESTIONS WILL YOU ASK TODAY?
