An OECD study with 120,000 participants shows that critical thinking is often only weakly developed. The learning effect is greater in seminars, lectures and laboratory units than, for example, in learning through fieldwork. (https://www.oecd.org/publications/does-higher-education-teach-students-to-think-critically-cc9fa6aa-en.htm). A meta-study shows that in application-oriented teaching and dialogic learning, the form of teaching is not as important for critical thinking as the content (https://www.clearinghouse.edu.tum.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/CHU_KR18_Abrami_Kritisches-Denken_mit-Anhang.pdf).
Whenever the question of good questions is asked, a positive affirmation comes back. Hal Gregersen from the MIT Leadership Lab has found in his studies with managers that in brainstorming sessions with a focus on questions, in 85% of all cases not only are one or two new solutions found, but the mood also shifts to a positive one. Dan Cable, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at the London Business School, points out the connection between the activation of positive emotions and the open search triggered by questions.
