question asking
Posing an inquiry
Question asking is the act of posing questions, particularly as a skill or practice that can be developed.
The term appears in educational and professional contexts where the quality of questions matters: Good question asking is essential for effective interviews.
Unlike simply "asking questions," the compound noun treats it as a distinct competency—something one can be better or worse at.
