The analysis of student-generated questions (SGQ) is a method to investigate the way of understanding and solving a problem.

This study was focused on the analysis of the questions generated by high school students working with the geological map of the Czech Republic and the local geological map (map of Prague).

Furthermore, individual questions were assigned to the corresponding map skills that are necessary for the formulation of the question. Younger students were found to ask significantly more questions about the map display; while older students are also interested in the geological content and the way the map was created. There was also a difference between the geological map of the Czech Republic and Prague. The students were able to obtain...
