The Harkness table, Harkness method, or Harkness discussion is a teaching and learning method involving Senior students in small group exploration of ideas that fosters an open-minded environment with minimal teacher intervention. The method encourages classes to be held in a discursive manner. The style is related to the Socratic method. At Aitchison College, we are adopting the method to reinforce what students have learned or acquired in concept learning. Final year A2 boys studying Mathematics and Sciences attend regular small group tutorials.
