Question formulation is an increasingly vital skill underpinning critical thinking, literacy, inquiry, and civic engagement. In fact, it is one of the most important lifelong learning skills a student can acquire in their education. While many existing inquiry models recognize the value of student curiosity, they often don’t provide specific, accessible strategies for easily teaching all students to ask questions. Come join us to experience the Question Formulation Technique, a powerful tool to teach students how to ask, work with, and use their own questions in the library and beyond.
