Socratic questioning

A good way to help other people think about a subject is to ask them a question about it. Being asked a good question can really help us put information together, evaluate our existing ideas and create new ideas.

Asking questions that are specifically intended to help others learn is known as Socratic questioning, named after the Greek Philosopher Socrates (c. 469 BC–399 BC).

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

What do you mean when you say ______?

What is your main point?

How does _____ relate to _____?

Could you put that another way?

Let me see if I understand you; do you mean _____ or _____?

How does this relate to our problem/discussion/issue?

Jane, can you summarize in your own words what Richard said? ... Richard, is this what you meant?

Could you give me an example?

Would _____ be a good example of that?

Questions that probe assumptions

What are you assuming here?

What is Jenny assuming?

What could we assume instead?

You seem to be assuming _____. Do I understand you correctly?

All of your reasoning depends on the idea that _____. Why have you based your reasoning on _____ instead of _____?

You seem to be assuming _____. How do you justify taking that for granted?

Is that always the case? Why do you think the assumption holds here?

Why would someone make that assumption?

Questions that probe reasons and evidence

Could you explain your reasons to us?

How does that apply to this case?

Is there a reason to doubt that evidence?

Who is in a position to know that is true?

What would you say to someone who said that ____?

Can someone else give evidence to support that view?

By what reasoning did you come to that conclusion?

How could we find out if that is true?

Questions about viewpoints or perspectives

What are you implying by that?

When you say _____, are you implying _____?

But, if that happened, what else would happen as a result? Why?

What effect would that have?

Would that necessarily happen or only possibly/probably happen?

What is an alternative?

If _____ and _____ are the case, then what might also be true?

If we say that ____ is ethical, how about _____?

Questions that probe implications and consequences

How can we find out?

What does this question assume?

Would _____ ask this question differently?

How could someone settle this question?

Can we break this question down at all?

Is this question clear? Do we understand it?

Is this question easy or hard to answer? Why?

Do we all agree that this is the question?

To answer this question, what other questions must we answer first?

How would _____ state the issue?

Why is this issue important?

Is this the most important question, or is there an underlying question?

Can you see how this might relate to ________?

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

Questions about the Question?

What was the point of this question?

Why do you think I asked this question?

What does...mean?

How does...apply to everyday life?

Happiest Persons in the world

1) Matthieu Ricard (मैथ्‍यु रिकर्ड): The world's happiest man (YouTube)



His message: Just spend 15 continuous minutes per day thinking happy thoughts (Link)

Start by thinking happy thoughts for 10 to 15 minutes per day, Ricard says. Typically when we experience feelings of happiness and love, it's fleeting and then something else happens, and we move on to the next thought. But Ricard says instead, concentrate on not letting your mind get distracted and keep focused on the positive emotions for the next stretch of time. And if you do that training every day, even just 2 weeks later you can feel positive mental results. And if you practice that for fifty years like Ricard has, you can become a happiness pro too.

वे प्रतिदिन करते हैं ये 5 एक्सरसाइज (Link)
मैथ्यू खुश रहने के लिए नियमित रूप से 5 प्रमुख एक्सरसाइज भी करते हैं. है जो उन्हें खुश रखने में मदद करती हैं. सबसे पहले 1 से 2 मिनट तक पूरी आंखें खोलकर देखते हैं. उसके बाद नियमित रूप से हर घंटे 10 सेकंड की काइंडनेस एक्सरसाइज करते हैं. फिर, वे कहते हैं आपको अपने बच्चों, पत्नी या माता पिता या जिससे सबसे अधिक प्रेम करते हैं. उसकी मुस्कराती हुई तस्वीर को 1 मिनट तक लगातार देखें. उसके बाद वे जरूरी मात्रा में चॉकलेट या अखरोट खाते हैं और खाने की सलाह देते हैं. वे कहते हैं कि हमें मुंह खोलकर पूरा मुस्कराना चाहिए. वे इन सभी एक्सरसाइज को नियमित रूप से अपनाते हैं और सलाह देते हैं.

मंत्र नंबर 1 @ 1 से 2 मिनट तक बड़ी आंख करके देखना...
मंत्र नंबर 2 @ हर घंटे में 10 सेकंड की Kindness एक्सरसाइज
मंत्र नंबर 3 @ बच्चों, वाइफ, मां-बाप जिसे सबसे ज्यादा चाहते हैं, उसकी मुस्कुराती तस्वीर 1 मिनट तक लगातार देखना
मंत्र नंबर 4 @ चॉकलेट या अखरोट खाएं
मंत्र नंबर 5 @ मुंह खोलकर फेक स्माइल

(Link)

पिछले साल बिजनेस इनसाइडर ने जब उनसे पूछा कि लोग कैसे खुशी पा सकते हैं पर रिकार्ड ने कहा कि इसके लिए उदारता और परोपकारिता महत्वपूर्ण हैं. रोजाना 15 मिनट तक लगातार प्रसन्नता वाले विचारों को सोचकर अपने मस्तिष्क को इस दिशा में प्रशिक्षित करने से भी काफी फायदा होता है. 

जीक्यू से बात करते हुए उन्होंने कहा, "दूसरों से खुद की तुलना करना भी खतरनाक है. तुलना करने से प्रसन्नता खत्म हो जाती है."

-----------------------------

मेरे हिसाब से 15 Happiness Thoughts/Things जो तुम्हारे साथ हुये हैं वो लिख लो और उनको चहरे पर स्माइल रख कर सोचो-

1) मैं जब बाप बना।

2) मेरे मॉ बाप

3) मेरे प्राण प्यारे भैया

4) जब मैं rekhta पर पब्लिश हुआ।

5) जब मेरा रिसर्च पेपर 45 मिनटस के अंदर पब्लिश हुआ।

6) जब मेरा जॉब में सिलेक्शन हुआ।

7) जब मुझे पहली बार प्यार हुआ

8) वो समय जब में डरता नहीं था।

9) वो समय जब में ख़ुद को निगेटिव जजिंग नहीं करता था

10) वो समय जब में अवसाद जैसी बातों से अनभिज्ञ था।

11) वो समय जब में ख़ुद को बेवकूफ नहीं समझता था।

12) मैंने बहुत सारी ट्रेकिंग की हैं।

The Socratic Method

General types of Socratic questions: PAPERCLIP (mnemonic) (Link)

Three types of questions are often used: exploratory, spontaneous and focused.2 Exploratory questions show how much the student knows and may be used to introduce a new topic or review past discussions that may relate to the current topic. Spontaneous questions can be used to probe the student in exploring their beliefs and assumptions; they allow the student to reflect on the issue at hand. Focused questions narrow the discussion on what the preceptor would like the student to think about, stimulating them intellectually.

Effective Socratic Questioning:

Raise basic issues

Probe beneath the surface structure

Pursue problematic areas of thought

Aid students in discovering the truth of their own thought

Aid students in developing sensitivity to clarity, accuracy, relevance and depth

Aid students in arriving at judgments though their reasoning

Help students analyze purposes, assumptions, questions, points of view, information, inferences, concepts and implications.

Socrates and the three questions... (Link)

A good laugh from Mick Moloney:

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to answer three questions."

"Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first question is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second question of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary ...".

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?".
