ENGAGING IN THE QFT

RULES FOR PRODUCING QUESTIONS Ask as many questions as you can. Do not stop to discuss, judge or answer

the questions. Write down every question exactly as it

is stated. Change any statement into a question.

What might be difficult about following these rules?

PROCESS Divide into two groups Identify a scribe, who will record your

groups’ questions. Be sure the scribe has a chance to offer

questions as well. Write the Q Focus at the top of your

sheet. Follow the rules. Number your questions.

Q FOCUS:

Good information doesn’t always mean good decisions.

IMPROVING OUR QUESTIONS

Closed-ended questions – Questions that can be answered with a “yes”, “no”, or one word.

Open-ended questions – Questions that require an explanation and cannot be answered with a “yes”, “no”, or one word.

Mark your closed-ended questions with a “C” and your open-ended questions with an “O.”

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of question?

See if you can change open questions to closed and closed to open.

PRIORITIZING

As a group, identify your three most important questions, based on the Q Focus and the purpose of the day.

SHARE

Share some examples of questions you changed, your three most important questions and your rationale for choosing those questions.
