Highly motivating form of intellectual and
scholarly discourse.
![Page 8: User-Generated Education](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547ae338b4af9f322b8b4612/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
An effective Socratic Seminar creates dialogue as
opposed to debate.

An effective seminar consists of four interdependent elements:
1. the text being considered
2. the questions raised
3. the seminar leader, and
4. the participants

The Question
A Socratic Seminar opens with a
Question
posed by the leader or solicited from participants as they acquire more experience in seminars.
Responses to the opening question generate new questions from the leader and participants,
leading to new responses.

opening question generate new questions

The Participants
In a Socratic Seminar, participants carry the burden of responsibility for
the quality of the seminar.
There are three ways to do this:
Studying
Participating
Sharing.

Dialogue is a skill of collaboration that enables groups to
create
collective
thinking

The Text
Socratic Seminar texts are chosen for richness in ideas, issues, values and their ability to
stimulate dialogue.
A good text raises important
questions
There are no right or wrong answers.
At the end of successful Socratic Seminars, participants often leave with more questions
than they brought with them.
