Questions are one of the most powerful tools in education. When students ask or answer questions, they are not just speaking — they are thinking, reflecting, and connecting ideas. Here’s how questions support their improvement:
Encourage Critical Thinking
When students are asked questions like “Why?”, “How?”, or “What if?”, they start to analyze and evaluate information instead of just memorizing it. This deep thinking builds problem-solving skills.
Example: Instead of just saying “Water boils at 100°C,” a student might ask, “Why does water boil at that temperature?” — leading to a deeper understanding of science.
