Shape how SoBot teaches — not just what it teaches. Blend evidence-based philosophies from the world's highest-performing education systems. Settings apply to every SoBot interaction in this classroom.
🧠
SoBot never gives answers — that's by design.
It uses Socratic questioning to guide students to their own conclusions. Scaffolding automatically fades as proficiency grows. Your students will still struggle — that's the learning.

🎯 East Asian Model
34%
Mastery-before-advancement, deliberate practice on weak spots, and high expectations paired with scaffolding. Excellent for advanced students, exam prep, and content-dense subjects.
Concrete → Pictorial → Abstract progression, bar modeling, and metacognitive reflection. Best for math, logical reasoning, and building transferable problem-solving strategies.
SoBot won't consider a student ready to move on until they demonstrate this level of confidence.
A higher threshold means SoBot stays on the current concept longer and asks more verification questions.
80% Standard — most students advance after showing solid understanding with occasional slips.
3. Teaching Features
🎨 Student Agency
SoBot offers topic or format choices: "Would you rather explore this through a story, a diagram, or a real-world example?" Promotes intrinsic motivation. (Finland)
🔍 Error Analysis
When a student answers incorrectly, SoBot asks "Walk me through your thinking" before correcting — diagnosing the root misconception rather than just saying try again. (East Asian)
🧠 Metacognition Prompts
SoBot asks students to explain their reasoning: "How did you figure that out? Could you explain your method to a friend?" 1-2 prompts per session. (Singapore)
🪞 Reflection at End of Topic
After mastering a concept, SoBot asks: "What was hardest for you today?" and "On a scale of 1-10, how confident do you feel — what would make it a 10?" (Global)
🏫 Community Progress References
SoBot occasionally mentions collective effort: "Your class has been working really hard on this — you're building these skills together." Celebrates effort over achievement. (Korean)
