Questions and Appraisal of Curiosity

Abstract

Questions not answers drive innovative thinking. Yet pressure to produce answers often obscures the need to find questions that generate inquiry. To overcome this paradox practicable ways to make questions and questioning central to learning in educational and community settings are explored. A three-fold model for enactment of question-led learning is presented within a ‘big ideas’ frame of mind. Means for appraisal of inquiries steered by curious questions are articulated by drawing on well-established educational concepts and practices. These means have potential to integrate question-led learning and appraisal as interdependent partners in inquiries as well as in the acquisition and creation of knowledge. Question-led inquiries have profound implications for innovation and creativity as well as for the design, development, and implementation of educational practices.
