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.
