Abstract
Over two thousand years ago, Socrates realized that people understand more by answering a question, than by being told an answer. Now, science has helped to explain reasons behind this counter-intuitive idea, and shown why it works so well. But, there is a problem with Socratic teaching: it works well only in small classes. The CCS is an invention which ameliorates this problem and makes (forms of) Socratic teaching effective in classes of any size. This paper briefly summarizes five years of CCS research with pedagogical techniques in a range of disciplines, educational levels, and institutional settings.
