Abstract
This study aims to analyze the perceptions of students about the reasons that promote questioning in class. 85 students from 3rd cycle of basic education participated in the study, aged between 13 and 16 years old. The content analysis of the responses to an open-response questionnaire showed that students consider very important their own questions and that they formulate questions to better understand the contents. However, they also note that rarely they ask questions in class context by shame, fear of being ridiculed or uncertainty about the relevance of it.
