INTRODUCTION TO QUESTION STAGE
The Question Stage is regarded as the starting point of the QuiryThink learning process, where curiosity and critical awareness about academic writing are developed. At this stage, problems, issues, or gaps related to writing experience, research topics, or academic challenges are identified. By means of relevant and thought-provoking questions, areas that require further exploration are recognized. Through this process, critical thinking is nurtured, and a solid foundation for deeper inquiry is established.
In practice, the Question Stage is implemented through brainstorming activities, reflective prompts, and guided discussions by which questions are raised both individually and collaboratively. These activities ensure that questions are gradually refined to become more focused, researchable, and connected to academic writing contexts. This stage is considered crucial, as well-formulated questions not only guide the overall direction of learning but also shape engagement, motivation, and readiness to move forward into the subsequent phases of the QuiryThink learning model.
