By using open or authentic questions, the teacher is no longer the sole source of answers or truth. This provides students with more opportunities to contribute, develop critical thinking, and feel that their opinions are valued. As a result, the power dynamic in classroom interactions becomes more balanced, as the learning process is no longer entirely dominated by the teacher.
