What is an example of a decisional question in the ORID framework?

• A. What has this experience taught you?
• B. What have you learned from this experience?
• C. Can you describe how you came to believe this?
• D. What was the significance of this experience to your study/work/life?

Answer: (D)

In the ORID framework, decisional questions are about turning reflection into action—they prompt plans, next steps, or commitments based on what the discussion has revealed.

Choosing a question that asks about the significance of the experience to your study, work, or life is the best fit because it pushes toward deciding what to do next. It moves from understanding and interpreting the experience to shaping future actions, priorities, or decisions.

The other prompts focus on what you learned, how you came to a belief, or what the experience taught you—these are reflective or interpretive. They explore meaning, lessons, or reasoning rather than initiating concrete next steps.
