Excerpt from The Question as a Factor in Teaching

This brief and abstract discussion is, perhaps, long and clear enough to suggest that a large share of the problems in education center in the question.

Excerpt from The Question as a Factor in Teaching

In college and university instruction the question, as a factor in teaching, is of minor importance. The method of instruction being largely that of the lecture, there is little use for the question, except as a test of results, after the learning process is supposed to have been completed. In most textbooks for the elementary and high schools, it has the same place and rank, following the work of acquiring knowledge and merely testing the degree of understanding and memorization reached. In both cases getting knowledge means the getting of positive facts, and that is a task in which questions are not considered a necessary part.

The rank of the question in active life is very different. The situation is typically represented there by the arithmetical problem. No builder figures for the answer to a question until some situation has arisen that requires figuring. Answers alone, without the problems that called them forth, would be absurd. So in the field of business in general, of politics, and of scientific investigation, questions necessarily precede answers; they are prerequisite to all thinking; they supply the motive for the effort as well as the basis for the selection and organization of the data. They are the key to the situation, determining the value that shall be attached to the answer itself.
