What is a process question?
To disable ads, please log-in.
I'm still trying to figure out the election. I read this comment in an article:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/...ion/index.html
"Palin associate defended her, saying that she is "not good at process questions" and that her comments on Michigan and the robocalls were answers to process questions..."
So can someone tell me what a process question is? Thanks!

Sounds like a 'process question' is a type of question designed to elicit a particular response.

From Zen's link, it sounds to me as if a process question is designed to elicit or encourage analytical thinking.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

A question that focuses on the how and why. You need to analyze and synthesize information from many sources. As I used to say to my students, you need to elaborate and give supporting evidence.
Not a question that has a one word or "snap" answer.

in other words, a question that she has to think about and cannot have simply memorized the answers to.

Anyone who watched the VP debate plus her various interviews can draw his or her own conclusions.
