Questioning approaches
Part of Big Questions Little Questions (BQLQ), critical thinking skills for sixth form students from the University of Oxford
Welcome to Questioning Approaches, part of BQLQ from the University of Oxford for Study Higher. I’m Emilia, an MSc Japanese Studies student, and I’m going to take you through this section designed to help you develop your critical thinking skills.
We will look at how and why we ask questions. These questioning approaches are essential components of your critical thinking skills, and are important to developing your academic work as you go into university or higher education, but are also important for your daily lives.
We will go over why we ask questions, the kinds of questions we can ask, and how to question the sources we use. These can be completed at your leisure.
