About this video
Michael Strong speaks about the Socratic practice in classrooms and how this method of learning gives students a critical thinking ability. Even though there is a leader who may function as a guide, students learn for and by themselves. Socratic practice also promotes freedom and peace in a higher level, letting participants express their own ideas and teaching them to listen to other people beliefs.
