I think one of the main educational shifts there has been since I first began teaching, is, we are now teaching and encouraging our learners to ask questions, rather than find answers.
In the past, this was something that seemed to be 'lost' in the child's journey through school. They started school as inquisitive learners, asking lots of questions, about everything.
By the time they are in their 3rd or 4th year of schooling, it has often been difficult to get them to formulate those inquisitive, inquiring questions that came so freely to their 4-year old mind.
We need to change the way we have been teaching and foster our learner's natural inquisitiveness and willingness to take risks.
