RQI Question Formulation Technique Continued....
The protocol for the Right Question Formulation Technique is:
*Producing Your Own Questions
*Improving Your Questions
*Prioritizing Your Questions
When Producing your own questions there are 4 essential rules-
~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
When Improving your questions categorize them as closed - or open-ended-
~Closed-ended are those questions that can be answered with a Yes or No or with One word.
~Open-ended are the questions that require an explanation and cannot be answered with yes, no or one word.
Once you have categorized your questions, change them from one type to another- closed to open and vise-versa.
When Prioritizing your questions choose your three most important questions. Then ask yourself why you choose those 3 questions as the most important questions.
Next Steps - How are you going to use your questions???
I would love to try this with you! Let me know when we can do this together!!!! If you want more details just give me a holler.
