The Question Formulation Technique (QFT), from the Right Question Institute, is a questioning strategy that:

• Facilitates student curiosity and engagement
• Helps students build confidence to ask questions and become empowered to seek answers
• Improves student questions that support deeper learning

Some of the Learning Goals for this course are:

• Understand the what, how, and why behind the QFT
• Identify best practices for effective ways to design, facilitate, and adapt the QFT for specific purposes, including interdisciplinary and conceptual learning
