Are Questions More Important Than Answers?
Description:
Our answer first culture has created passive learners who are relying on Google instead of vetting information and asking tough questions. A great question is borne from curiosity, which is influenced by our environment. Studies show that middle-class children ask more “How & Why” questions than lower income children. By influencing student motivation and scaling curiosity-based learning in large lectures and nontraditional classrooms we can bridge “The Curiosity Divide”.
