Concept Development Study Guide


Explain how Concept Development goes beyond Concept Attainment.
  • Concept Development goes beyond the definition to inferences that cannot be observed.
  • Concept development refines and extends our knowledge through providing an opportunity to refine our personal concepts.

 Summarize the steps to the Concept Development model
·         The concept development model starts by having students list as many objects, ideas, memories, etc. related to the desired subject. The students then group the items by how they are alike. Students will then label these groups and state why they decided to label the groups the way they did. Next, students will look at the lists and groups again and see if they can find additional items or groups they can create. Lastly, students will make a generalization about the subject

Identify ways that you can differentiate within the model, as well as ways you can assess it. (This model can serve as a great pre- or formative assessment (see the Evaluation section on page 115). Either way, step 5 (summarize and generalize) will probably be the step you want to align to your indicator.
  • Interest can be used by allowing students to generate data sets
  • Readiness can be used by dividing students into group and varying information
