OFT Process--Question Formulation Technique

Step 1: Review the Rules for Generating Questions

• Ask as many questions as possible.
  
• Change any statement into questions.
  
• Write down every question as it is stated.
  
• Do not stop to judge, assess, or answer questions.
  

Step 2: Introduce QFT (Question Formulation Technique)

Step 3: Produce Questions
​Step 4: Improve Questions:

• Open-ended (research, search for the answer, or it would take a lot of detail to explain it)
  
• Closed-ended (one word answers)
  

Step 5: Prioritize Questions

• Questions you want or need to investigate further.
  
• Cross out questions you know the answers to.
  
• Share 3 starred priority questions.
  

Step 6: Discuss Next Steps

• What will be done to answer questions
  

Step 7: Reflection

• What have you learned from your process today?
  
• What questions do you still have, even if it is not a priority question?
