SOCRATIC DIALOGUE AS A MEANS OF EDUCATIONAL INTERACTION WITH A CHILD
One of the most important philosophical practices of working with children is the «Socratic Dialogue» method. It is based on the principle of a priori mutual acceptance of dialogue partners. The method excludes monologism and traditionalism; it is focused on creation and development of a child's conscious worldview, as well as on teaching him or her reasonable independent thinking. The «Socratic Dialogue» method plays an important role in the development of children's critical reflective thinking, language and thinking skills; it trains logical reasoning and the ability to consider issues within the available context; it provides polyvariance of answers and versioning of opinions.
