Using Socratic Circles in Authentic Learning with Undergraduates

Abstract

We reflected on previous feedback in which some had students requested more discussion of case studies n class.  It occurred to us that by sandwiching a Socratic Circle discussion between the at-home preparatory reading of the case and the in-class assessable group questions, we could generate a good discussion of the case for those interested, whilst providing observers with more insights into the case material than they may otherwise gain.
