Why SOCRATS?
Children Fear of Wrong Answers
Telling students they are wrong might be particularly harmful to participation of students who sometimes tend to underestimate the extent of their understanding, making them less willing to speak up in classes (Koch, 1996)
Teachers doing the Spoon-feeding
If the teachers doing the children’s thinking for them (spoon-feeding), the students will simply digest the information provided without understanding in a spoon-feeding environment. This leads to stagnancy in education because no development is made as the student’s brain processes the data
