The curiosity mindset: Keeping students engaged and curious through questions
Aim - explore how asking questions enable learning and how we keep curious and enable curiosity of others…
Discovery is predicated on curiosity. The more curious you are, the more willing you will be to engage in each new experience.
The easiest way to tap into your natural curiosity is by asking questions. Tina Seelig
Questions we will think about:

Notes from the workshop
Notes from the workshop
Curiosity is an urge to seek knowledge and deeper understanding.
Curiosity can have benefits for the educator, student and patient. During the workshop, we learnt how it could benefit consultations (think about open questions), clinical reasoning, relationship building and reflective learning.
Facilitate learners to get curious about patient encounters by asking questions
While observing students talking to patients, you notice that the patient mentions the word migraine while talking about flu-like symptoms. The student brushes over this. Why did the patient mention migraine? What do they mean by migraine?
Being curious and asking open questions can facilitate consultation skills.
This helps to understand the lived experience of patients, which in turn develops a rapport with other people.
Being curious about the learner's circumstances, interests and thoughts.
We learnt how this could help to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by students and tailor more personalised support.
Curiosity is the basis of knowledge and helps you to grow.
In this sense, a growth mindset helps with the learning process (versus the fixed mindset).

Being curious means seeking deeper knowledge is longer lasting
Factual knowledge transactions are short-lived. The deeper learning from a curious line of enquiry leads to a better understanding of the context and the case. It provides multiple perspectives on situations that may appear simple and incorrect. Good questions to ask are those that start with what, why, and how. Other approaches include; Socratic, heuristic, didactic and counselling questions.
Being curious helps to transform learning and enables better reflection.
Doctors need to engage in reflective practice because of the complexity and uncertainty of healthcare. A curious mindset supports this reflection. Educators can help learners to ask questions that make them think about their learning (metacognition or master programme).
Recognise the emotional space that supports curiosity and enables this
Emotions can reveal insights into areas that need further exploration. Tutors could highlight these moments and create the space for understanding them through respectful curiosity.
What next
Be curious as an educator. Reflect on what went well and what could be better.
Support learners to be curious. Could you facilitate a discussion on how to ask questions.
Consider novel approaches to familiar encounters. For example, introduce the ethics of prescribing when you are talking about asthma patients.
