Engaging novice designers in case-based critique discussion is a good way to learn design principles. This study looks at a group of pre-service teachers engaging in design critique discussion in the course of their video production projects using a computer supported collaborative learning environment, Knowledge Community. The purpose of this study is to scaffold critical thinking in students' discourse using Socratic thinking. Various categories of Socratic thinking prompts in the form of sentence openers were designed to scaffold participants' critical thinking. Findings indicate that statements made using sentence openers contributed to the highest number of in-depth comments and helped students get started, become more focused and to think further. Socratic sentence openers hold promise in making learners' thinking explicit and offer facilitators insights to participants' shortcomings in thinking that need remediation. This research contributes to the skant literature on using Socratic thinking in online discussion.
