The power of questions
Marcin Stanowski
The power of why, what, when and how is never to be overestimated. It is essential in everyday communication. It is crucial in crtitical thinking classes. It is inevitable in the CLIL lesson.
Questions are conversation starters, ice-breakers and the essence of a scientific method.
We need to prepare our students for asking questions during the lesson, in their research and in every bit of small talk.
The first session in Global Issues Sig Pre-conference Event on Friday 20th September will be devoted to all the techniques we can use to foster student’s inquisitive mind and help them form questions which will make them socialize with others, understand the world better and most of all be Young Scientist!
