What is Socratic Questioning?
Socratic questioning is disciplined questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions and for many purposes, including: to explore complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyse concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we don't know, to follow out logical implications of thought, or to control the discussion. There are 6 types of Socratic questioning and they are Questions for clarification, Questions that probe assumptions, Questions that probe reasons and evidence, Questions about viewpoints and perspectives, Questions that probe implications and consequences and Questions about the question.
