Summary/Abstract: The article aims to discover the specific aspects of the Socratic maieutic and the conceptual relation between the Socratic maieutic and the heuristic strategies of modern education. The methods used are: text analysis and comparative study. If the Socratic maieutic is in its essence a heuristic educational strategy, by presenting modern current educational strategies, the following common elements are identified and put under discussion: moving the educational centre of gravity from the teacher to the student, from memorizing knowledge to discovering it, to reflexivity and self-reflexivity, from a given educational process to a built and won one.
