The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said, thinking and self-doubt surprised before. Questions, including question themselves and others, as a means and method, which is one of the effective ways to explore and access to knowledge. To put questions, the problem is that the external performance is to the problems identified with language expression. In question, the main need for clear and accurate expression of the problem, which makes the main awareness of the problem more clearly, thinking more direction and purpose, so as to enhance the efficiency and quality of thinking, better able to convey to others, to exchange The purpose. Therefore, a child is a child initiated the exchange of words, the purpose of access to knowledge, the development of children with speech development, cognitive development and social skills development, and so closely related.This research is based on cognitive theory, social and cultural theory, Constructivism and meta-cognitive theory. Cognitive holds that the question reflects their thinking process. Questions can promote individual psychological structure has become richer in substance, can also provide a new experience to the original cause of individual psychological structure and to promote their psychological structure to the new conversion to provide a realistic possibility. Social and cultural theory believes that children and community are interrelated, children know about the world through their own personal interaction and the formation of the process. Vygotsky see the question as children to construct their individual knowledge and understanding of the process. Social interaction, especially among children and more knowledge social members, is a access to be socialized. In addition, the question of children as an important way of understanding the world will inevitably be the impact of regional culture, which was given traditional national colors. Transfer the far-reaching impact on society and on the basis of geographical and cultural impact on children question the important foundation. Constructivism who believes that children are caused by the discovery of their own problems and resolve issues, and promote thinking and skills development. In addition, only those who receive the support of environmental questions will enable the development of high-level thinking level. On a child can show the best level of thinking, the development of a question by a show of progress in the development of thinking, but only those who are most supportive environment of thinking can be trained to develop optimum level. Meta-cognition theory that the requirements of the individual in question have a certain amount of information on the basis of known information from a variety of different combinations of these to be resolved to find the problems and goals, have raised the issue to the course, fundamentally speaking is a Kind of cognitive strategies. Meta-cognition reveals the question of the internal mechanism to monitor their students the thinking process and guarantee the right choice of strategy, the question of how to cultivate our ability to provide the theoretical and technical guidance.Scholars have done a lot of empirical research. These studies show that there are significant differences in children' questions by the quantity, quality and a question on the frequency of comparison. At the same time, a large number of studies also found that affected children a number of factors, such as children's gender, emotional state, cognitive status, children's self-satisfaction, its parent education level, occupation, living area, class atmosphere, classroom seating arrangements, the answer to the problem, stimulate the material properties, to stimulate the children's familiarity with the material, and so on.But combing the study we found, have been subjects tend to be concentrated in the same area with the same cultural background of the group, while the domestic research basically select only the Han Chinese students as subjects, the lack of students of other ethnic-related research. Some studies in the sample may also include a small amount of national minority, but in the statistical analysis omitted from the national fundamental factors, therefore, the current lack of other domestic national children's studies, comparative study is also scarce. Because most research has been the lack of children from different cultural backgrounds affect the question of analysis, making the results of the study and promotion of universal constraints. Therefore, this study were to Han and Tibetan primary school students for the two communities was try to inspect two in question demonstrated by the similarities and differences, similarities and differences between the concerns of these may lead us to more in-depth understanding of children's characteristics and the nature of the question, but also to Inspection of the affected children a key factor in development.This study attempts to experiment to study Han and Tibetan Grade 3 and Grade 4 Primary School Students in question demonstrated by the universality and characteristics, and to explore similarities and differences between the two led to the relevant factors, thus enriching and expanding on a study of the impact of factors, To realize the difference between teaching and training students in thinking ability, self-learning ability and different parts of the school-based curriculum development (particularly in ethnic minority areas of curriculum reform), the choice of teaching strategies to provide certain information.This study tested 256 Grade 3 and Grade 4 Primary School Students in Chongqing and Lhasa in a total. The questionnaire used for physical and material problems in two ways present situation, and from the flexibility, innovation, profound, sophisticated and scientific indicators of the five facts to conducted a quantitative study. Through a statistical analysis of the data, draw the following conclusions: (1) with the increase in grade, the two communities a question by the number of children are on the rise. (2) Presentation have a significant impact on the quality of Tibet students' questions,and a significant impact on the quality of the profound and delicate indicators to the children in Chongqing area.(3) regional environmental have a great impact on the quality of children' questions, the quality of teachers, the role of language and other factors also can not be ignored.In follow-up analysis of the researcher found that, since the way of the questionnaire, a written expression of children ability to certain requirements, leading to a question by children under a certain degree of restriction, and a written presentation does not fully reflect the true children Ability to question, therefore, the need to develop a study on children of the more effective and objective assessment methods. At the same time, this study was thinking only of the quality of the content of the inspection, after the products can be in-depth consideration of thinking, thinking level of the content. In addition, the impact on children of other questions related to many factors, the study should be placed in a comprehensive analysis of the ecological environment in order to promote child development to provide more scientific, effective reference.
