Inquiry Training Model
(The Suchman Inquiry Model)
Background
When children are young the world to them is full of questions to ask.
Somewhere along the way, they get the idea that becoming an adult means
leaving the world of questioning to enter the world of knowing the answers.
Schools tend to encourage the movement from questions to answers since
success becomes putting the right answer in the blank or marking the correct
response. Questions in school tend to have one right answer and questions for
which there are no answers are rare.
