description: >-
|
|
A structured discussion of a text where participants ask and answer

|
|
methods. Named for the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates and formalised
|

in modern education by Mortimer Adler.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Read the text closely
|
|
description: >-
|
|
All participants read a short text in advance, marking passages and
|
|
preparing one question they genuinely wonder about.
|
|
- headline: Open with a question
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The leader poses an opening question that has no single right answer
|
|
and invites the group into inquiry.
|
|
- headline: Refer to the text
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Participants respond, grounding their contributions in specific
|
|
passages: "On page three, the author says..." rather than free
|
|
association.
|
|
- headline: Ask follow-up questions
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The leader and participants ask follow-up questions that probe
|
|
assumptions and invite evidence, rather than offering opinions.
|
|
- headline: Close with reflection
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The seminar closes with each participant naming one idea that shifted
|
|
or deepened for them.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
The group reaches a deeper shared understanding of the text and the
|
|
questions it raises, through disciplined inquiry.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
The leader asks, does not answer. If the leader becomes the expert, the
|
|
inquiry collapses into lecture. Ground every claim in the text. |
