Inquiry:

A good inquiry question is open-ended, thought-provoking, and requires higher order thinking. It should also be researchable, interesting, and have multiple possible answers. Here are some other qualities of a good inquiry question:

  • Open-ended: It doesn’t have a single, correct answer. 
  • Higher order thinking: It requires analysis, synthesis, inference, or prediction. 
  • Thought-provoking: It sparks discussion and debate. 
  • Points to important ideas: It can lead to important, transferrable ideas. 
  • Raises new questions: It can trigger new questions and curiosity
  • Requires support: It requires support and justification, not just an answer. 
  • Can be revisited: It can be revisited again and again. 
  • Examines “why”: Questions that examine “why” rather than “what” can lead to explanations. 
  • Has a clear focus: It requires some focus to allow productive research. 
  • Is asked without bias: It’s not biased.
