The Question Formulation Technique [QFT] is a structured method for generating and improving questions.
The QFT builds the skill of asking questions, an essential — yet often overlooked — lifelong learning skill that allows people to think critically, feel greater power and self-efficacy, and become more confident and ready to participate in civic life.
Use the QFT to help people you work with build the skill of asking their own questions.
The following templates are intended for use in one-on-one teaching or social service delivery settings.
Here, you’ll find a simple template for people to use to take themselves or others through the process of learning to ask their own questions:
