The Socratic Method is a teaching strategy that involves asking students open-ended questions in reference to the covered topic to encourage critical thinking and independent learning. The instructor performs as if not knowing the topic to encourage dialogue. This approach encourages and guides the students to new ideas and poses contradictions in their initial approach. The instructor then guides the student to new ideas and corrects any misconceptions and assumptions.
