is it a good idea to encourage students to ask question?

[Lida Alibalazadeh]

Discussing whether students must encourage asking any question has advantages or not, has always been a controversial issue. Some people believe that encourage them has an ample advantages, whereas others believe it causes a lot of problem in classes and distract other students to concentrate in main subject. When I compare these two ideas, I can see myself in support of the first group. There are compelling reasons to accept this viewpoint like it corrects any misconception in student's mind and it encourages them to study more about the topics.
In the first place, asking any question from the teacher in class lead to correct any misconception that students have in their mind. People believed a lot of theories and rules in the world which gradually they figure out that some of them are wrong and scientists have changed those misconceptions. For example, for many years it was thought that the Earth was flat, however, of course it turns out that the earth is round, so asking any question which students believe in them helps to find out a clear idea about the science rules.
An even more important reason is that asking question encourages students to study and research about each field because the students who ask more important and precise questions receive more attention from their teacher and it rises a competition among them to study more and listen carefully while the teachers teach them to ask accurate and better question in correct time. For example, I hated from one of my chemistry subjects in high school, and I never studied it well, but by my teacher allowance to ask our questions in class, and pay more attention to the students who studied extra curriculum I find out that I didn't want to quite from studying this part and lost my teacher attention, so I began to study hard and finally, I received the best grade in that subject.
In conclusion, it is very important to allow students to ask any question they have and it increases their effort to study hard and pay more attention to subjects.
