Lincoln, Power, and the Question Formulation Technique (QFT)

Lincoln, Power, and the Question Formulation Technique (QFT)

This discussion is rich with original thinking and student engagement, no doubt due to the fact that because students had been answering questions they had developed themselves, they were personally invested in the learning process. It is one of my favorite discussions of the year. What a gift QFT is!

Using the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) for Formative Assessment

Lucy Canotas, a fourth-grade teacher in Manchester, New Hampshire, used the QFT to learn more about what her students knew or did not know about fractions. This video shows Canotas using a visual Question Focus to stimulate students’ questions. She leads her class through each step of the Question Formulation Technique, all the way through their reflections at the end on what they learned and liked about the process.

Toward the end of a unit on electricity, David Meshoulam presents his students with the Question Focus: “Powerlines from a power plant carry electricity at voltages of 345,000 volts or more! Transformers, like the one shown, reduce that voltage to 120V for home use.” Watch as a high school physics class in Newton, Massachusetts, goes through each step of the QFT.
