Abstract | Questioning stands at the core of massive communication in general and between a teacher and a student in particular. It is a process teachers and students face every day. It is a powerful tool to stimulate and support critical thinking. Being an active element in the whole teaching and learning process, questioning fulfills a fruitful conversation between students and teachers and the whole community. Since ancient times, Socrates, the Greek philosopher tried to lead his students towards the discovery of the truth itself by means of questioning. ‘Six honest servants have taught me everything that I know; their names are: What? Why? When? How? Where? Who? This is homage paid by Kipling to his six teachers (Reference stated in Aspects of Teaching and Learning, AEDP, Tirana, Albania 1997). |
