The Socratic method is a questioning technique that develops information through dialogue and promotes critical thinking. It has the advantages of helping students learn to listen actively and build upon others' ideas by examining issues in depth. However, it requires student participation and some students dislike that there is no right answer or fear public speaking. The method works best at the college level when the instructor questions one student at a time.
