2. "What other ways of studying could you implement?"
3. "If you didn't study for your test, what is the probability you will fail?"
4. "If you study all the unit outcomes, what effect will that have?"
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Socratic questioning is a technique one can use to look beneath the surface, recognize and examine assumptions, search for inconsistencies, examine multiple points of view, and differentiate what one knows from what one merely believes. Questions about evidence and reason focus on just that (e.g., what evidence is there, how do you know, what would change your mind).
Rationale 2: Asking about ways to study would be a question about the problem (studying) which is not an example of Socratic questioning..
Rationale 3: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences. which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
Rationale 4: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
