momma2three Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) It's when the teacher engages in a one on one Q&A session with a student, that is somewhat aggressive and is supposed to stretch the student, by presenting questions that the student won't have an easy answer for.

Tracy Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 In a Socratic discussion, you are not giving the student all of the answer as you would in lecture. Rather, you are guiding the student to discover the answer on their own. The philosophy is that we learn better what we seek and discover on our own. This can be done in any subject matter, from math and science to the humanities, and for any age group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
