  • Teachers can use the QFT at different points: to introduce students to a new unit, to assess students’ knowledge to see what they need to understand better, and even to conclude a unit to see how students can, with new knowledge, set a fresh learning agenda for themselves. The technique can be used for all ages.
  • Dupuy, Muhammad, and many other teachers are using a step-by-step process that we and our colleagues at the Right Question Institute have developed called the Question Formulation Technique (QFT)
  • In health care, for example, research funded by the National Institutes of Health has shown that the QFT produces dramatic increases in levels of patient activation and improved patient-provider communication. In the classroom, teachers have seen how the same process manages to develop students’ divergent (brainstorming), convergent (categorizing and prioritizing), and metacognitive (reflective) thinking abilities in a very short period of time.

      "knowledge leak" - great phrasing.  Easy to condescendingly look at others, but as I struggle to incorporate and use emerging technology, I have to realize that I too am guilty of not being current in my field, in the area of technology.  A humbling realization!

  • Sheer IQ is not sufficient for innovation, or even as important as current knowledge.

    "Every discipline is experiencing accelerated development, and the rapid knowledge obsolescence that goes with it. Cushing Anderson of IDC puts it well:  "Knowledge leak is the degradation of skills over time, and it … can kill organizational performance in as little as a couple of years." While it might have seemed reasonable in an era of slower change to put the onus on the individual to maintain his or her currency, firms today must make it their business to counter this leakage."
