I was looking for a quick video to roughly outline what the Socratic Method was and how I could implement it. This video is exactly what I was looking for.
UA-cam needs this! I can’t believe how many people in the comments think an argument equals a fight. I love and welcome a rational debate! That’s engaging with others about shared interests and the free exchange of ideas, not hostility.
@picklesan1630 is this your personal thought and feelings? Do you always suffer with anxiety? Have you ever thought about using some self help books with CBT so you don’t feel anxious? Would you change your mind if you had a discussion without feeling anxious?
Excellent instruction for this popular teaching strategy. Love your videos. They are especially helpful for individuals such as myself who are new to the teaching profession.
Very helpful. I am looking to improve my skill at using Q&A in the classroom rather than lecture. I will apply your advice. Personally in planning a class I think, what knowledge do students need to acquire, and what questions will yield that information.
But should we really limit the contribution of the people who feel more passionate about the subject? Ideally, I think this method should be used in a smaller classroom so that people can realistically have equal ''sharing'' time.
Wambumbu I agree, in my philosophy class me and 2-3 outher people stemrolled the whole class room, but I'm not going to keep my mouth shut to placate shy people, however the fact that 4 students can stemrolle a class of 22 is redicules.
@@kenhollis6197 definitely true. however there's a difference between giving a general description of the method, and giving steps, purpose, examples, practical advices about how to plan it, what is it good for, how to bootstrap the discussion, what to do when there's little participation, what to do when there's too much people willing to talk at the same time, or too much emotions, or shy people; how to interact with concepts, assumptions, contradictions, etc. THESE things make group leaders really figure out how to do it.
Im afraid that when I speak in the seminar, no one would add on to my piece of the argument. Creating a awkward silence with stares going around the room until someone completely disregards my thought. The flow will be choppy because of me.
Why not ask the tutor for guidelines on how they will organise and facilitate the seminar with respect to turn-taking and development of the topic. It's a legitimate question and you can include any concerns you have if you wish so they know where you're coming from.
Excellent concept! Western high schools and universities should implement this method. Imagine! Teaching students to actually THINK!!! Facts over feelings all day everyday :)
Thanks! Great starting point for sure. Are you able to post an example of a Socratic dialogue please? I am trying to find an example to show to my class...
Wow! and just Wow! I am on here looking for an answer to a professor who has our classroom attempting to fill out a 5E lesson plan to pretend teacher ing and actual digital lesson plan (All this is a year prior to being applying to even get into the credential program mind you and with no foundation of knowledge ever writing a lesson plan) and the texts he has given on important subjects such as UDL, CSP and SJE are great but the information 15 years old on the five E's is confusing and on top of it he keeps changing the words to even understand it? The entire class except one group is lost now for 1 month and he has never given us one bit of info on figuring out the 5E's he only states no and you do not have it? So I watched you video and I now have a belief that Socrates style is not actually being used and is a hijack and a rip-off to give common core validity because of your statement about silencing the verbal students who may be asking questions to allow for others to do so? As well as the lacking foundation to present questions on a brand new subject would all depend if the information is there and if the teacher starts saying there is a right answer by stating no or yes then he has been given the power to harm because of this method not being clearly defined with no way to resolve abuse (the irony?)? To have an approach that assumes students will change their beliefs is in itself assuming all students are inherently coming from a flawed background? Lastly, it is taking a famous philosopher who asked questions to the status quo but now the status quo is using his method to stop questions that ask about their version of the Socratic Method? Wow!
This is nice but unfortunately this doesn't work on the whole where I am currently teaching. I was teaching English here in Thailand but my preference and main area of interest is biology, and so I pursued science, where, Socratic questioning may better flourish regarding knowledge vs beliefs. Society here in Thailand regarding free speech and free inquiry is looked down upon at best and forbidden and even offers a jail term at worst. Schools in this country are full of young minds with so much potential, and yet remain retarded by laziness, peer pressure, and the classical Thai method of teaching which is sitting down students and talking at them for 35 to 60 minutes. I am English and really want to both develop my own thinking and to aid in student development but there is so much resistance to this that it just doesn't work with the majority. Discussing with the minority in class has two effects. The accusation of absconding from my duty and failing to educate the ignorant mass which could lead to me being fired, or appealing to the minority and face being complained about by the ignorant majority who are so against the idea of questioning that they become tired, aggressive and disrespectful to the teacher and peers, using snorts and deflating sounds in order to suppress it. With these restrictions, social and cultural walls up against free thinking and free inquiry, do you have any ideas on how one may be able to engage students with the method or thinking? Cheers.
Attempts at critical thinking, without the participants having a reasonably solid foundation of factual knowledge, quickly turn into little more than exchanges of emotionally charged opinions. Modern education has fucked up four generations of Americans by focusing them on thinking processes rather than the acquisition of actual knowledge. Modern teaching methods assume, without any basis in fact, that exposure to rhetorical processes and strategies for cognition will somehow magically confer greater comprehension ability, and a superior capacity to evaluate and judge substantive matters. All it actually does is give people with strong emotions, little curiosity, and some prepackaged dogma, the ability to argue - not to advance knowledge through open discussion and mutual exploration. The only effective way to challenge false core assumptions that children were brainwashed with is to teach them how to search for, qualify, and retain facts. Without a solid and broad foundation of facts, having thinking strategies alone ultimately just turns people against knowledge acquisition. People become adept at rejecting factual knowledge they haven’t heard before. Carbon dioxide and anthropogenic climate change is one good example.
I agree, he speaks fast and I actually like it because I speak fast myself lol. Anyway, you can always modify the speed of the video in the setting options :)

Socratic discussions suck, mostly when you had anxiety, social anxiety
kay kay lee school in general sucks when u have anxiety :(
Yeah, but with a bit of luck it’ll toughen you up
@picklesan1630 is this your personal thought and feelings? Do you always suffer with anxiety? Have you ever thought about using some self help books with CBT so you don’t feel anxious? Would you change your mind if you had a discussion without feeling anxious?
This is an interesting and effective quick summary of the Socratic Method. (It's just a small thing, but the word at :32 is "reenactment".)
I think Socratic Questioning is BRILLIANT. Thank You for this teaching,
Excellent instruction for this popular teaching strategy. Love your videos. They are especially helpful for individuals such as myself who are new to the teaching profession.
Thanks cel2113! And welcome to teaching!! Best job in the world. :) Teachers like you are why we're here. Anything we can do to help you?
TeachLikeThis I don't believe so. Thanks!!
+cel2113 why? ;-)
Thank you for this, I wish I knew this when I was a child
Bro this was helpful.
Thanks. Liked and Subscribed.
How do I apply it in a Math class?
How do you not? ( See 😂)
Nice job in summarizing this!
Thanks for clarifying the method.

Mystogan Edolas The problem here is the fact that there is 22 or more students in a single classroom
Thanks! Will do.
I would like to share your videos with others through a presentation. Is there a way to access your video clips without ads?
Are you teleporting?
I was thinking the same, and in the process teleported to the comment section thereby not learning anything.
Socratic method is about giving questions until a person, who is being asked questions, starts doubting his thoughts
Thank you!
as the most articles on socratic method you find on the web, this video doesn't actually explain how to do it. it only talks about general principles.
I'm not sure it's possible to put into words. I think it has to be experienced.

Thank you! This is a great clarification and simplification that is applicable in the classroom!
Thanks! Great starting point for sure. Are you able to post an example of a Socratic dialogue please? I am trying to find an example to show to my class...
Like the use of a question there Leo..V Socratic... :-)
Uh, I don’t wanna be that guy, but at 0:33 you misspelled reenactment.
Very nice Sir.
In brief, is is an inquiry method? Or discussion method? Or Question- answer method? Or lecture demonstration method?
Interesting..thank you
Socrates is/was awesome!
came back to see how this channel was doing...holy crap the views
it is very clear
Is there a related site where I could find this information printed?
Or a power point?
thanks....
I would prefer a power point to jump cuts
Upload again :((( pls
ron llgn Hi Ron,
Can you tell me what the issue is? I can see the video fine on my end
@@TeachLikeThis I mean you haven't uploaded for quite some time 😅
This video in a nutshell: 0:01-0:04
Thx that was useful
Socratic Method is a one way to develop critical thinking. Give 3 actual examples or scenarios that uses the Socratic method and describe briefly

+Joe T There's not much you can do when you're living under a totalitarian regime. That's just the cold, hard truth.
When teaching ethics? How about critical thinking is important, always. :P
Critical thinking without any foundations is pointless. It just turns people into mindless critics rather than being complete thinkers.
Very good. Only one comment: please speak slowly to enable non native English speakers to understand you fully. Thanks a bunch :)
you're moving around so much, its a bit stressful to watch, which is a shame because your advice is good
Much too rapid and lacking in detail.
why are his eyes so red

Is there some reason for you to flit around the screen like a Drunken Fly.
when people don't let you talk 😑😑
Use talking chips. Google it. It will help.
@@margaretgieszinger1500 Thank you. I had never heard of talking chips. They look very useful for chaotic discussions.
Slow down!. Please, slow down!

Rebutting is pronounced “re-butt-ing,” not “re- byoot-ing.” Not trying to be nitpicky. Mispronouncing words often just means people read a lot.
I have a question. Why are schools failing kids so badly?
Wanna try Socratic method?
lol that intro
You guys like Lil Pump?
I was intelligent, my school made me an idiot..
Good content, but you speak too fast. And yes, I'm a competent native speaker.
I agree, he speaks fast and I actually like it because I speak fast myself lol. Anyway, you can always modify the speed of the video in the setting options :)
@@jonathanmort4518 Yeah, I can. I was hoping my feedback would be useful to him.
You told us nothing. Especially about the Socratic Method.
