Heuristic Conversation


The dialogue designed by the trainer in this method can be conducted by a sequence of questions-answers that require reproduction of knowledge taught-learned but also by problem-questions that stimulate thinking, at the level of explanations, applications, analysis, synthesis, interpretations, critical acclaims.

The main and the most active role in the heuristic approach is played by question and questions structuring.

Speaking of heuristic conversation, we put less emphasis on the reproductive-cognitive questions, memory questions (who? what? which? where?), and concentrate more on productive-cognitive questions (why?, how? in what conditions?), hypothetical questions (if. ... then ...?), evaluation questions, less on convergent thinking questions and more on divergent thinking questions (which directs thinking on original and new trajectories).
