Abstract

One important strategy in Socratic tutoring is theDirected Line of Reasoning, in which the tutor asks aseries of directive questions, to help the student followa particular approach to the problem. The questionsmay contain useful information to assist the student inmaking the argument. If the student gets stuck, thetutor often supplies a hint. The result is an effectivedialog with the student that helps students reason aboutthe solution to a problem, while still feeling they aresolving it themselves.
