There are many possible answers, and also many questions that arise from it—such as what are the goals of school or university education.
One possible reason is to turn schools—and universities—into spaces where the world is questioned, including society, knowledge, our actions, and our experiences. At the same time, it is a way to show how mathematics, statistics, or any discipline can foster and provide tools for this questioning.
The inquiry processes initiated by SRPs help to formulate partial responses to living questions. But they also encourage the emergence of new questions, thus developing our capacity to question, to critique, and to go further. This is an epistemological motive: to highlight one of the main functions of disciplines, science, and knowledge—as tools for questioning. Knowledge is experienced in action, not merely as finished products.
