45. SOCRATIC QUESTIONS (Feedback, Questioning, Discussion)
 
Description: Based on the work of Socrates, Socratic Questions are meant to test students’ accuracy and completeness of thought.
 
Application: Use Socratic Questions when breadth and depth of understanding is most important.
 
Process: Depending on the type of learning desired, ask questions from the following categories:                                                                     Clarifying questions are “tell me more” questions that make students think deeper.
                  Probing questions are questions that may challenge previous beliefs or suppositions.
                  Probing rationale, reasons and evidence is a way for the teacher to force students to provide logical rationale,
                                                  reasons, and evidence of what they are thinking.
                  Questioning viewpoints and perspectives is a way for teachers to push students to think about others’ viewpoints.
                  Exploring implications and consequences can be fruitful when students must project consequences of an action.

​The strategy, Questions about the Question, returns a question to the student by challenging an asked question (Addendum below).
