Correct Answer - Option 4 : Inductive approach
The correct answer is the Inductive approach
Concept Attainment Model:
- Concept Attainment is a constructivist approach to teaching and learning drawn from the work of Jerome Bruner (1956).
- In this instructional model, students apply their prior understanding to determine the attributes of a concept through the processes of comparing and contrasting.
- This structured inquiry approach gives students the opportunity to:
- distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information
- observe, classify, and hypothesize
- connect newly attained concepts with old information
- think inductively
- The teacher’s principal responsibilities are to provide examples, record student data, and ask probing questions.
- The principal goals of the concept attainment model are to enhance long-term learning and enable students to develop a habit of analysis through inductive reasoning.
Hence, Concept Attainment Model emphasizes an inductive thinking approach.
