Previous-Essay <== This-Essay ==> Following-Essay By-Months By-Years By-Words Webs of Like-&-Un-Like ESSAYS <==> Like-&-UN-Like This-One ========================================================== %NEW QUESTIONS 731103 Most learning which has carry-over-value involves the learner in successfully searching for answers to new questions which have developed within the recent stream of consciousness of the learner. A real student is constantly seeking to articulate new questions and seeking possible answers to them in authentic meetings. The technocrat who presumes to be an educator diverts the students' attention away from their own new questions- --to an authoritatively certified list of approved questions and answers. By treating the students' questions in a tangential way, with indifference or with scorn, the technocrat may succeed in preventing the student from asking new questions which threaten the emotional security of the technocrat. When a real student has been thus taught to play the role of the conventional student---then it is possible to train the student to ask conventional questions and give the conventional responses to such questions on cue. The carry-over value of such training is limited, because the student is merely playing games--- rather than becoming involved in a dialogue which leads to mutual awareness and mutual understanding on the part of students and educers. If a science trainer successfully gives students "good" questions and answers to the exclusion of educing from students mediocre questions and answers, the most important lesson the students learn is that they can not originate "good" questions and answers. This lesson is best taught by highly competent technocrats who lack the emotional security to be in dialogue with students. The attractive scientist on the other hand is successful in helping non-science students to learn that they can generate helpful new questions---and engage in meaningful searches for possible answers to them. Most students under-estimate their potential for asking new questions. They need positive encouragement in fail-safe contexts. For today's students to become helpfully involved in the political action which will resolve the real problems and dilemmas of our technocratic society, they must learn that they can ask meaningful new questions---of the technocrats who dominate our society. Helping students to learn that lesson can be one of the most helpful things which attractive scientists can do to make spaceship earth a more livable spaceship. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
