Students actively engage by asking questions of their own. The discussion goes back and forth. The questioning proceeds open-ended with no pre-determined goal. If you deny it, I affirm it. The oldest, and still the most powerful, teaching tactic for fostering critical thinking is Socratic teaching.
In Socratic teaching we focus on giving students questions, not answers. We model an inquiring, probing mind by continually probing into the subject with questions.
Fortunately, the abilities we gain by focusing on the elements of reasoning in a disciplined and self-assessing way, and the logical relationships that result from such disciplined thought, prepare us for Socratic questioning.
