Description
Socratic Methods in the Classroom explores how teachers can use questioning, reasoning, and dialogue to encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and independent learning in the secondary classroom.
By examining the approaches of great practitioners of Socratic questioning, this book provides practical guidance on using variations of the method to engage students in different subjects, from medicine to mathematics. Teachers will learn how to guide students through problems, cases, and simulations to develop essential skills for discussing important issues in their communities.
Through a range of examples and exercises, Socratic Methods in the Classroom offers a valuable resource for educators looking to enhance their teaching practice and promote critical thinking in their students.
