If a teacher carries out a question and answer session using good open-ended question, then it will help motivate students’ curiosity about the topic. For, the teacher it will help assess the students’ understanding on the topic of discussion. Motivation is necessary to enhance students’ self-determination because it encourages students there is mutual enhancement between the peers and the teacher when discussing the content (Wikipedia, 2011). Each student builds on the other student’s ideas and the feedback from the teacher builds the students competence. The questions that are asked are connected and students are able to relate to their peers’ responses and make connections to their views. This eventually makes the student become autonomous and believe in the knowledge they have constructed.
