질문하기

다른 사람이 어떤 주제에 대하여 생각할 수 있도록 돕는 좋은 방법은 그 주제에 대하여 질문을 하는 것입니다. 좋은 질문은 정보를 함께 공유할 수 있는데 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라, 우리의 기존 아이디어를 평가해 보고 또 새로운 아이디어를 창출하는 데도 도움이 됩니다.

Asking questions that are specifically intended to help others learn is known as Socratic questioning, named after Socrates in Ancient Greece.

Socratic questions require you to listen very carefully to the other person to help you judge and phrase your question in a helpful, constructive, and hopefully non-confrontational way.

Here are some examples of such questions:

Questions of clarification

Questions that probe assumptions

Questions that probe reasons and evidence

Questions about viewpoints or perspectives

Questions that probe implications and consequences


Questions adapted from Paul, R. (1993). Critical Thinking: How To Prepare Students for a Rapidly Changing World: Foundation for Critical Thinking, Santa Rosa, CA.
