Teaching Students to Ask Questions Instead of Answering Them by Matthew H. Bowker - 2 views

    This is pretty direct, and it hits on the point of education as transformative instead of distributive or directive. I think his reference to Winnicot's "holding environment", and it's awkward maternalism could be supplemented by good ol' Vygotsky's ZPD, Zone of Proximal Development, and his general theory of intersubjectivity, which provides us with the common term "scaffolding". Plus, I like that both Vygotsky and Piaget regard this portion of cognitive development as continuous and culturally recursive.
