Plain English Meaning
A way of teaching where the instructor asks questions and lets the students do most of the talking, steering the conversation so the right points come out from the group instead of being told to them.
Full Definition
A teaching method in which the instructor draws ideas and answers from the students through skillful questioning, rather than delivering information through a lecture. The instructor plans the topic, prepares lead-off and follow-up questions, and guides the conversation so that students arrive at the key points themselves while the instructor keeps the discussion focused, accurate, and on schedule.
Context Anchor
Used in aviation instruction during ground lessons, briefings, reviews, and any training situation where the instructor wants students to think through the material instead of only listening.
