Being Detective

Imagine you are a detective trying to solve a mystery. You have a suspect in mind, but you don’t have enough evidence to prove that they are guilty. So, you start asking them questions to see if their answers match up with the facts. If they say something that doesn’t make sense or contradicts what you know, you ask more questions to get to the truth. This is similar to how Socrates used questions to help his interlocutors develop their understanding

How Does It Work?
The Socratic Method is a question-and-answer-based dialogue format used to seek truth and knowledge. It is named after the teaching style of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. The Socratic method allows us to clearly define our beliefs, test their consistency, and deduce their general laws. The Socratic Method also stimulates our critical thinking, encouraging us to ask questions and investigate rather than settle for answers continually.

What are the Benefits of Using This Method?
The Socratic method, in stark contrast to rote learning, emphasizes the art of questioning. By seeking answers to various doubts and raising further questions based on those answers, learners can naturally form their knowledge framework. This process helps solidify knowledge and significantly enhances its practical application. Moreover, the method’s emphasis on questioning is closely linked to applying acquired skills. As a result, learners become more adept at applying knowledge, fostering a lifelong learning mindset.
