To Question and Not To Question during Discussions: 1. Questioning and Discussion.
Dillon, J. T.
Journal of Teacher Education, v32 n5 p51-55 Sep-Oct 1981

However, question-answer relationships appear to foster respondent dependency and passivity. It is recommended that the teacher question only when he or she is perplexed and in need of information.
