Answer: (1) The role of education: Socrates believes that the role of education lies in helping people to introspect, cultivate the concept of goodness and become citizens of a just society. (2) Educational task: He advocates that the primary task of education is to teach people how to behave, specifically to form virtues. He believes that the purpose of education is to train politicians. In the history of western education, he first put forward the theory of expert governance. (3) Educational content: He put forward the idea that "virtue is knowledge". He believes that all knowledge, wisdom and virtue exist in people's hearts, and they are all good attributes, and they are internally related. A person will do good only if he knows exactly what is good, and the good and evil of human behavior mainly depends on whether he has relevant knowledge. So he put forward the view that "morality can be taught". (4) Socrates method is also called question and answer method and midwifery method. In Socrates' view, the process of teaching is like a midwife delivering a fetus from a mother's stomach, that is, the process of ideological midwifery, so it is called midwifery. The process of midwifery can be divided into four steps: the first step is irony. That is, teachers appear in an ignorant manner, and through clever continuous questioning, students are made aware of the confusion and contradiction of their original views and admit their ignorance. Socrates thinks this step is very important, because students can only learn knowledge if they realize their ignorance; Second, midwifery. Teachers further inspire and guide students to draw conclusions or answers through their own thinking; Third, induction. That is, students can discover the general nature and essence of things from various concrete things; Fourth, the definition. That is to classify individual things into general concepts and get a general concept about things. The characteristic of Socrates' method is that it does not impose ready-made conclusions on the other side, but induces the other side to recognize and admit their mistakes by constantly asking questions, and naturally draws correct conclusions. The other side of the question and answer is discussed on the basis of equality, and the educated side must think independently and not live to recite other people's conclusions. However, the question-and-answer method is not a general teaching method, and it can only be used in a moderate range under certain conditions. For example, the educated should have the desire and enthusiasm to explore the truth and pursue knowledge; Learners must have accumulated certain facts and knowledge about the problems discussed. This method cannot be applied mechanically to young children.
