Does Socratic dialogue can be constructivist?

What is it about?

Socratic method seems very interesting and attractive conception of the inquiry to knowledge. Teacher applying this method promote independence and self-reliance in the classroom, while his role is reduced to facilitate the learning process only. Besides, Socrates’s method is based on definitely an analytical approach to knowledge. In article I suggest that Socratic method, because of these characteristics, can be identified with constructivist approach to learning. At the same time I advance the thesis that mentioned method, as a historical and philosophical category, should not be confused with constructivism.
