INDUCTIVE THINKING
====**[|Concept Attainment Model]**Concept Attainment is an indirect instructional strategy that uses a structured inquiry process. It is based on the work of Jerome Bruner. In concept attainment, students figure out the attributes of a group or category that has already been formed by the teacher. To do so, students compare and contrast examples that contain the attributes of the concept with examples that do not contain those attributes. ==== Note: Concept Attainment is very appropriate for ELLs because they learn through the examples and can hypothesis in their one minds as they attain the concepts. ==[|**Concept Attainment Mode**l]This PDF file (with a few clarity problems) provides very helpful resources and examples of the model == ===**[|Concept Development]**: A Hilda Taba Teaching Strategy Use Inductive Thinking to Develop Concepts.
