1. During Socratic questioning, the teacher is a model of critical thinking who respects students' viewpoints, probes their understanding, and shows genuine interest in their thinking.
2. The teacher poses questions that are more meaningful than those a novice of a given topic might develop on his or her own.
3. The teachers create and sustain an intellectually stimulating classroom environment and acknowledge the value of the student in that environment. In an intellectually open, safe, and demanding learning environment, students will be challenged, yet comfortable in answering questions honestly and fully in front of their peers.
Role of students
– Participate when called upon.
– Answer questions as carefully and clearly as possible.
