Our own culture shapes how we learn, think, and teach. Some cultures prefer conserving knowledge whilst others prefer to question knowledge. New Zealand students are expected to question knowledge.
Educational environments with a conserving attitude believe knowledge is established in the past and cannot be questioned. In order to do well in tests, students are expected to repeat everything they have learned in class and read in textbooks. Teachers in countries with a conserving attitude expect students to listen and learn without asking questions.
Educational environments with a questioning attitude believe that what students learn in textbooks and classes should be questioned. Students are expected to think critically and form their own opinions. This is done by questioning, analysing, and evaluating ideas and information. At postgraduate level, students will be required to do even more of this.
