Explain what a "concept" is, and how understanding the concept of concepts makes learning easier. (In other words, define the relationship between facts and concepts).
- Concepts are ideas that are formed through categorizing data from several observations
- Facts are bits of information from an observation and have no value without other facts.
Explain the difference between knowing a concept's definition and a concept's meaning.
- Applying what the definition means by knowing examples to real life.
- Concrete – specific concept (right triangle)
- Abstract – broad concept (freedom)
Summarize the model.
- The concept attainment model uses inductive reasoning by observing than hypothesizing and developing a theory. The goal is to define a concept by finding out what all the examples and non-examples do/don’t have in common.
Identify ways that you can differentiate and assess this model. (This model actually works great as a pre-assessment).
- Teachers can scaffold by linking previous concept attainment model to today’s lesson
- For readiness the activity can focus and help students who have learned the concept but need reinforcement.
