Organizations have started to negotiate their transition from the strategies they improvised for dealing with the pandemic restrictions imposed on travel and in-person gatherings. L&D managers must also continue to adjust and adapt learning experience design and development methods. This is not only important in order for L&D to remain relevant to evolving business strategies, but also to support efforts to retain employees by developing them.

The Socratic method is an ongoing dialogue that uses questions and answers to gradually eliminate hypotheses. Grant Wiggins offered a definition for the Socratic Seminar — something he would also call simply a ‘Seminar’:

“A Seminar is a question-focused, student-led, and teacher-facilitated discussion, based on appropriate texts. Sometimes we call this activity a ‘Socratic Seminar’–after Socrates, well known for his open-ended dialogues. Sometimes we call it a ‘class discussion’ to signal that the class will discuss, with the teacher playing a moderator role. Whatever we call it, a seminar is different from a talk/recitation/ lecture-with-discussion. The goal is not the acquisition of knowledge via the expert; the aim is student understanding via active thinking out loud and probing of ideas by all students.”
