The Socratic method is "a teaching technique where a facilitator (like a teacher) uses a series of open-ended questions to guide a learner towards discovering their own understanding of a topic, encouraging critical thinking by prompting them to examine their assumptions and reasoning, rather than simply providing direct answers; essentially, it's a method of learning through thoughtful questioning and self-reflection, based on the philosophy of the ancient Greek thinker [[Socrates]]."<ref>[https://www.google.com/search?q=the+socratic+method+learning&sca_esv=fd368f2ad05e4b13&sxsrf=AHTn8zpXRIUvAZZQETDzREzUS00ig-rCOg%3A1738860578358&ei=IuikZ6fEFe6f0PEPhfeaMA&ved=0ahUKEwin3di4wK-LAxXuDzQIHYW7BgYQ4dUDCBI&uact=5&oq=the+socratic+method+learning&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHHRoZSBzb2NyYXRpYyBtZXRob2QgbGVhcm5pbmcyBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjILEAAYgAQYhgMYigUyCBAAGIAEGKIESIghUN4JWOgdcAJ4AJABAJgBnQGgAYMTqgEEMC4xObgBA8gBAPgBAZgCDKAC8wrCAgoQABiwAxjWBBhHwgIKECMYgAQYJxiKBcICBRAAGIAEwgIKEC4YgAQYJxiKBcICCBAAGIAEGLEDwgIKEAAYgAQYQxiKBcICBRAuGIAEwgIFEAAY7wXCAggQABiiBBiJBZgDAIgGAZAGCJIHBDIuMTCgB7SvAQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp Socratic method learning]</ref>
