Summary/Abstract: The EDA pedagogic model is inspired by Socratic teaching –i.e., the art of making the interlocutor discover the truth byhimself, using a series of questions. This active method puts theyoung learner in the position of making choices. The trainer doesnot judge the learner on his choices, but helps him think aboutthe meaning of those choices and evaluate their pertinence on hisown. The three letters stand for the three stages of this method:E from Éveil (awakening the learner, or breaking the ice), D from Débat (debate on a given topic), and A fromApprofondissement (exploring the topic).
