Abstract
The subject of this study were 7th grade three students in a school in Seoul, Korea. They discussed the inquiry problem to be investigated during summer vacation. We analysed the process of how the inquiry problem is revised and improved to more investigative one in the discussion. Student always discussed the method in the light of problem and the existence of the method of a problem affect the endurance of problem. The main subject of a problems are in everyday context, which is the object of critics in discussion. Student respond to the critics in many ways. Main types of reaction to the critics are two kinds. One is a person who change their views to the critics, the other is a person who kept their ideas.
