Mindi Summers; Jordann Fernandez; Cody-Jordan Handy-Hart; Sarah Kulle; Kyla Flanagan – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Asking questions can be one of the most difficult, yet important, steps in driving student inquiry. As post-secondary instructors work to integrate inquiry into classrooms, very few concrete strategies exist for developing and promoting student questioning. The Question Formulation Technique (QFT) is a structured process used widely in K-12…
