“The modern curriculum should equip children with the ability to further their knowledge through careful questioning.现代教育应该赋予孩子通过认真提问获取知识的能力。”
--Grant Wiggins
PYP viewed inquiry as“Persistent Questioning”. PYP 曾把探究视作“持续性的提问。”
“The PYP believes that students should be invited to investigate importantsubject matter by formulating their own questions, proceeding with research,experimentation, observation and other means that will lead them to their ownresponses to the issues.”
因此很多PYP学校，你会看到老师们会使用以下教学策略：
1.Wonder Wall问题墙
2.5W2H 七何提问法
How could we broaden out view of inquiry from the predominant one of children asking question?
然而IB向来严谨，除了提问能引向真实的探究之外，就没有其他方法了吗？幼儿园的小朋友一开始根本不会提问，怎么探究？Judith Wells Lindfors 在其Children's Inquiry: Using Language to Make Sense of the World中给出了不一样的视角：在探究过程中，老师除了担任引导者，更需要成为一个细心的听众，听出孩子的“探究语言 Language Acts/ Inquiry Utterance"。如下图，孩子们没有提出很多的问题，但从讨论的语言中可以看出探究出新知，并引向更深入更为真实的理解。
