  • Facilitate Deep Learning and Student Engagement Through Socratic Questioning
Description:

Socratic questioning serves a variety of purposes in the instructional process providing benefits both inside and outside the classroom. One of the main outcomes of using Socratic questioning is that students should become aware of the gaps in their own knowledge and thinking and become more sensitive to perspectives different from their own.

In this seminar participants will view and analyze effective and ineffective examples of Socratic questioning. As a result they will be able to support student learning through effective questioning and avoid questions that stifle student inquiry and thinking. At the end of the seminar participants should have the knowledge and skills to implement Socratic questioning effectively.

Learning goals:

  • Analyze student comments and questions and identify which elements of thought the student is using in his/her thinking, then respond with questions that will engage the student in deeper and broader thinking.
  • Use Socratic questioning to facilitate students’ understanding of the connection between their thinking and their questions and comments.
  • Ask follow-up questions that extend student participation and encourages other students to join the conversation.
  • Use questioning as an alternative method of delivering content and assessing student understanding of the material.
