The Socratic method of teaching is a form of inquiry and discussion-based learning that encourages critical thinking and self-discovery. It’s named after the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who used this method to stimulate intellectual engagement. Here’s how it typically works: 1. A teacher (or Socrates in the historical context) asks open-ended questions to students. 2. Students are encouraged to think deeply and critically about the questions, providing their own answers and justification
