The search of scientific literacy

Recently, I discussed questioning skill and scientific literacy with my friends. It could be too easy to form questions. It may not help improving the skills by simply repeating the task. Learning by example is an easy approach but it still requires proper comparison. Teacher comment helps students to understand the underlying principle.

How can we formulate learning path on questioning skill?

The ultimate goal is to find the answer. A pool of organized questions may form a decision tree. It helps us to verify the sources and also to drill down reason of problem. It also determines the principles of design of experiment. Thus becomes the core of scientific literacy.
