A Socratic Dialogue Program to Enhance Critical Thinking
To effectively utilize EduChat's Socratic Dialogue feature, follow these steps:
- Correctly configured system prompt words: Ensure that the Socrates parameter is set to Enable and the Psychology and Generalized Dialogue parameters are set to Disable when loading the model
- Setting Guiding Questions: Enter open-ended questions such as "What is justice?" or "How do you prove the truth of knowledge?" The model asks progressive questions (e.g., "How would you define the core elements of this concept?") to Guided Thinking
- Creating a cycle of dialog: It is recommended to use a "question-answer-answer" cycle, and to allow 3-5 minutes of thinking time for each question.
The following scenarios are recommended for practical teaching applications:
- Philosophy/Ethics class: exploring the definitions and boundaries of abstract concepts
- The science classroom: developing hypothesis testing and logical reasoning skills
- Writing courses: exercising the systematic nature of argumentation from a point of view
Caveats:A GPU environment with at least 15GB of video memory is required, and dialog length is recommended to be limited to 10 rounds to ensure response quality.
