different types of questions
attitude: some people can think like this (see more)
Often it can be like this:
Students say “I don’t know something. I want to know it. I can know it if you say something about it. I want you to say it.”
At some times, a student says this because they think like this: I don’t know something, I want to know it.
At some times, a student says this because they think like this: I don’t know how to do something, I want to know how to do it.
At some times, a student says this because they think like this: I don’t know something well, I don’t know how to think about it. I want to know it well, I want to know how to think about it.
At some times, a student says this because they think like this: I know something about this. I want to know more.
Teachers in Australia think like this: It is good if a student can say 'I don’t know something' it is very good if a student can say 'I want to know more'.
