Why question?Why bother? Isn’t thinking enough?What’s the difference, anyway? Isn’t questioning and thinking part and parcel of the
same whole?
No. Not exactly. You can have one
without the other.

Thinking is often proclaimed by state and national leaders as a chief goal of schooling, but the brand of thinking that results from these lofty goal statements may fall short of the mark, amounting to what Shakespeare might call “a tale told by an idiot” or what Pink Floyd might call “another brick in the wall.” Jamie McKenzie

From Jamie McKenzie
Types of thinking
![Page 6: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The types of thinking on the left side are the ones that require the least amount of questioning
![Page 7: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
These all share a focus on memorising and absorbing rather than generating and producing. If we expect our young ones to become thinkers, capable of developing ideas and insights instead of merely copying and pasting the thinking or the ideas of others, then questioning becomes paramount, and the importance of the right side of the diagram becomes evident. (Jamie McKenzie)

Questions are the backbone of research
![Page 9: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Guiding questions
Are open ended Create multiple answers (they cannot be answered
with a yes or no) Focus the inquiry on the specific topic Are non judgemental Require high level cognitive work to answer them Contain emotive force and intellectual bite Invigorate the study Are succinct – a handful of words yet demand a lot
![Page 10: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GUIDING QUESTIONS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS
RESEARCH QUESTIONS.
![Page 11: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is a good sneaker?
Are our immigration policies fair?
What is a good book?

In refining your guiding question it may be useful to:
Identify what you want to investigateAsk if there is a relationship between the
parts of your questionAsk who, what when, where, why, and howMake sure that the question is clearly written
and that each word cannot be misinterpretedBe sure that the question can actually
be researched
![Page 13: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A Hypothesis Is a carefully worded, untested statement
that provides a focus for the research. A good hypothesis always leads to
discussion and debateA good hypothesis takes time to word and
may need to be reworked

The Twilight series will have an effect on the reading habits of children.
Women in politics are judged more than their male counterparts, dissuading them from the career.

Leading QuestionsContain their own answers
Why is sexism bad?Why are Smarties better than M&MS?
This type of question advocates the conclusion rather than exploring the idea
![Page 16: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Generic QuestionsLack personality and intrinsic interest
You will find these types of questions during such things as job interviews.
They are fine for that situation but not as a research focus.
![Page 17: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other question typesOpen questionsEncourage descriptions, lists, opinions.Used in surveys, interviews etc.
Closed questionsRequire only a short answer, usually yes/no. Traditionally used in tests.Can be used in interviewing & surveys.

Are you ok?
Is all grass green?
Other examples?
How are you feeling?
Why is grass green?

Focus Questions Indicate the course of the study
Directs research in a meaningful way
![Page 20: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Example of hypothesis & focus questionsThe AFL needs to revisit the rules for selecting the
Brownlow Medal”
Focus Questions
What are the current issues surrounding the awarding of the best and fairest?
Has there been a change in attitude the game over the last decade and how has it affected the medal?
Should the rules be changed?
![Page 21: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Brainstorming and mind-mapping your research question or hypothesis may lead you to many other connected issues, which you then narrow down to several focus questions.
It is from here that you conduct your investigation
![Page 22: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hypothesis, Guiding questions and Focus questions take
time to formulate
![Page 23: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
You may find that you have to revisit the questions once you have begun
your research.
That is part of the research cycle
![Page 24: Adapted from the following: McKenzie, Jamie Learning to Question, to Wonder, to Learn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081517/56816699550346895dda8566/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
