Explanation
★The dialogue method of discovering truth was given by Socrates, so he is the answer.
★Socrates taught by asking a chain of searching questions rather than by lecturing.
★Through this questioning, called the Socratic method, the learner is led to discover the truth for himself.
★Plato was Socrates' pupil and recorded his dialogues but did not originate the method.
★Fröbel is known for the kindergarten and play-based learning, a different contribution.
★Herbart is known for the memory level and formal steps of teaching, so the dialogue method belongs to Socrates.
