SOCRATIC EDUCATIONAL AI METHODOLOGY
SOCRATIC EDUCATIONAL AI is applied through simple methodological guidelines that naturally combine: technology and innovation, emotion and systematic learning, paper and digital tools, individual and group work, teacher supervision and support from AIDIN —all structured into different phases:
ENIGMAS:
The student begins with a SCIENCE ENIGMA. That riddle is introduced by the virtual teacher ATHENA from the digital board to the whole class. The lesson is led by the teacher in a group dynamic, and students interact with AIDIN, a SOCRATIC AI, which provides clues and guiding questions —always mediated by the teacher, who, of course, has reviewed the content beforehand.

I CONSOLIDATE WHAT I’VE LEARNED (DIAGRAMS)
It’s time to create a diagram (or a summary, a graphic… something to consolidate what’s been learned).
We start together at the digital board, listening to a podcast as a class. At the end, each student submits their mind map to the AI, which is also reviewed by the teacher. In class, students work with printed materials provided by the teacher and available on the platform. Several clear, structured steps take the student from group work to homework —which families will also be able to see.
And we finish just as we started: with a collective wrap-up at the digital board, reviewing the chat and one of the students’ mind maps together.

REVIEW (THE STUDENT EXPLAINS TO AIDIN):
The best way to understand something is to explain it to someone who doesn’t get it. In this chat, AIDIN becomes a confused student, and the child becomes the teacher.
When the child gets home, their homework will be to explain the lesson to AIDIN.
Parents who want to help can team up with their children. Chances are, they’ll end up asking their own questions too. It would be a true Socratic team —AI and family learning together!

CODING:
It’s time to code. These are simple games related to the topic we’ve just explored.
The challenge is introduced by the virtual teacher ATHENA. We listen to it together and begin coding at the digital board in a teacher-led group session. This helps students get oriented, and allows the teacher to rely on the most advanced learners.
Then it’s the students’ turn. They can code in class —if resources are available— or from home. They’ll have AIDIN’s help at every step, as the project is broken down into smaller challenges. Once finished, the student submits their solution in the chat. AIDIN will provide feedback, support, and also assess their work.
And just like we began, we wrap up with a group review of one student’s solution on the digital board.

TESTIMONIALS FROM TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
We asked teachers and students what they thought after experiencing a class with AIDIN. Here’s how teachers view the SOCRATIC EDUCATIONAL AI methodology:
THE CLASSES ARE ALL ABOUT STUDENTS TAKING ON CHALLENGES TOGETHER
THE CLASSES ARE ALL ABOUT STUDENTS TAKING ON CHALLENGES TOGETHER
And among the students, the verdict is crystal clear: They loved the classes with AIDIN. Here’s what they told us:
A SCORE OF 10 DOESN’T DO IT JUSTICE
A SCORE OF 10 DOESN’T DO IT JUSTICE
IT’S REALLY EASY —IT HARDLY TAKES ANY TIME AT ALL
