                   %LEVELS OF QUESTIONING/ANSWERING 831220

     At  the  elementary level of training,  authoritarian
teachers give students answers to questions, and there  is
no  discussion  of  alternative  answers,   much  less  of
alternative questions.

     At  a  higher  level  alternative  answers  to  given
questions are considered,  but no thought is given to what
questions it would be wisest to consider,  or how best  to
formulate   the   wisest  questions  to   consider.     In
considering  alternative answers to given questions it  is
not  necessary  to examine the assumptions built into  the
formulation of the given question.   The more exact is the
formulation  of  the  questions  (and  implicitly  of  the
assumptions  built into its formulation)  the less will be
the number of significant alternative answers.

     Further steps may be taken in levels of  questioning,
and  the assumptions implicit in question formulation  may
be  examined and alternatives to such assumptions  may  be
considered---leading to alternative question formulations.
Formulators may seek to transcend the limitations of their
own  sub-culture  and gain perspectives which are in  some
meaningful way transcendent.   Efforts to systematize such
methods of formulating wise questions may fail for lack of
a  spirit which transcends the spirits,   attitudes,   and
values which dominate the local sub-culture.

     Depending  upon the spirit which guides the  efforts,
it may be possible to rise above perceiving all situations
as problematic and defining all situations  as  ones which
entail  problems  and  questions in need  of  formulation.
Wisdom  is  needed  to  know when it  is  not  helpful  to
formulate  questions  and define problems;  as well as  to
know  how to wisely formulate questions and wisely  define
problems.
