Cowen (1977) advocates that we select primary preventa‐tive interventions which either modify “impactful”; social systems and/or provide training in “pivotal”; competencies. He specifically notes that “the area of children's question‐asking behavior in class holds special interest because it can potentially wed the social systems and competence approaches … there is evidence linking curiosity behavior directly to good adjustment”; (p. 14). This paper describes an approach to foster children's competency in question‐asking by providing competence training in questioning to their teachers. Previous research had indicated that children rarely ask questions in school, whereas teachers typically emit predominantly rote memory questions, at rates of 1–3 questions per minute (see Gall, 1971, and Susskind, 1969). |
