Description

The concept attainment model is described as "a model of achievement of learning model that is designed to help students to be more easily learn a concept". It focuses on providing learners with a number of concepts and on how to develop the concept, helping students identify and define concepts through discovery of essential attributes. In this study it was the treatment for the second experimental group. The authors note it requires teachers to support student hypotheses, direct argumentation in testing hypotheses, and focus students on specific examples.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Teacher should have a supportive attitude toward student hypotheses
