Information about Socratic's Questioning

Socratic's Questioning:-                                                                                                            Socrates is a Greek philosopher with a teacher. A Socratic approach to teaching is based on the practice of disciplined, rigorously thoughtful dialogue. Socrates, as
instructor, ignorance of the topic under discussion in order to elicit engaged dialogue with students. The Socratic approach was built upon the assumption that knowledge was within the learner and proper questioning and commentary could cause this knowledge to surface. Socratic questioning helps students to think critically by focusing explicitly on the process of thinking. During disciplined, carefully structured questioning, students must slow down and examine their own thinking processes. As a teacher, during Socratic questioning, creates and sustains an intellectually stimulating classroom environment and acknowledges the value of the student in that environment. Some tips for a teacher:
  • Plan significant questions that provide structure and direction to the lesson.
  • Phrase the questions clearly and specifically.
·         Follow up on students' responses and invite elaboration.
As a student, before an exercise in thoughtful questioning, they are expected to do. Some tips for students:

  • Answer questions as carefully and clearly as possible.
  • Be as succinct as possible in the interest of maximizing classroom time and effectiveness.
