Conceptual approach

1. Conceptual
Approach

2. It is choosing and defining content of a
certain discipline to be taught through the
use of big and pervasive ideas
It is using the content as a means of
leading the students to discover the laws
and principles or generalizations that
govern a particular subject or discipline

6. CONCEPTUAL
ATTAINMENT

7. Is the process of defining concepts by
finding those attributes that are
absolutely essential to the meaning and
disregarding those that are not
It also involves learning to dicriminate
between what is and is not an example of
the concepts
It helps the learners attain the meaning
of concepts through the inductive
process of comparing examples and non-
examples until a defifnition is derived

8. step 1: select and
define a concept
Step 2: Select the
attributes
Step 3: develop
positive and
negative examples
Determine if the concept is
appropriate and teachable
according to this model. The
definition should be clear and
the attributes are identifiable
Determine those qualities that
are essential to the concept
It is the stage where the key
concept are being developed
through the essential and
nonessential attributes given by
students

9. Step 4:
introduce the
process to the
students
Step 5: present
the examples
and the list of
attributes
Step 6: Develop
a concept
definition
The stage of explaining
clearly what you will be
doing and what each step will
entail
The listing out of positive
and negative attributes
The stage of using the
positive attributes to help
students define the concept

10. Step 7: give
additional
exampples
Step 8: discuss
the process with
the class
Step 9: evaluate
It is the stage of improving the
meaning for the students who
comprehends slowly and a
reinforcement to those fast
learners
This helps them to see how
concepts are formed
It is to determine if the concept
has been retained by the
students

11. CONCEPTUAL
FORMATION

12. The important principle
underlying this method is
that understandings are
built, not acquired
It helps students think
effectively, refining and
extending students’
understanding to approach
new information they
encounter

13. Step 1: list as
many as possible
that are
associated with
the subject
Step 3: label the
groups by
defining the
lreasons for
gruoping
Step 2: group the
items because
they are alike in
some ways
What do you see? Notice? Find
here?
Do any of these items seem to
belong together?
Why would you group them
together?

14. Step 4: regroup
individual or
whole groups
under groups
Step 6: evaluate
students progress
Step 5: synthesize
the information
by summarizing
the data and
forming
generalization
Could some of these belong in
one group?
Can we put these items in
different groups
Can someone say in one
sentence something about all
these groups?

15. INDUCTIVE
METHOD

16. form of reasoning in which a general law
is derived from a study of
particular objects or specific processes.
Students use measurements, manipulators
orconstructive activities and patterns etc
to discover a relationship. They later
formulatea law or rule about that
relationship based on their observations,
experiences,inferences and conclusions.

17. Example 1: Ask pupils to draw a
number of triangles. Ask them to
measure the three
angles of each triangle and find
their sum. They will find that the
sum of the three
angles of all triangles is 180o.

18. Example 2: Ask pupils to find the
sum of two odd numbers like
3+5=8, 5+7=12,
9+11=20, etc. They will find that
the sum of two odd numbers is an
even number.

19. Steps in the inductive
method:
1) The first step is clear recognition of
the problem. It should be clearly
understood and defined by the pupils.
2) Once the problem has been defined,
the child should start searching for
data fromall possible sources like
books, magazines, journals, making
visits to certain places etc.

20. Steps in the inductive
method:
3) Under the guidance of the
teacher, the pupils organize the data
which they havecollected from
various sources. They select relevant
data and discard irrelevantmaterial.

21. Steps in the inductive
method:
4) By studying particular instances,
the pupils frame possible solutions
5) These solutions are discussed,
argued and judged. Thus tentative
solutions are eliminated and only the
probable solutions remain.

22. Steps in the inductive
method:
6) The solutions are applied to the
situation and results are verified.

23. Merits of Inductive
method
1) This method is psychological.
The student feels interested in
experiments,experiences and
discoveries.
2) This method fosters
independence and self-confidence
in the pupil which proves very
useful in later life.

24. Merits of Inductive
method
3) In this method, children discover the
solution themselves. Hence it develops and
encourages initiative and creative thinking.
4) Inductive method takes into
consideration all the maxims of good
teaching. Theprocess of induction calls for
perception, reasoning, judgment and
generalization.

25. Merits of Inductive
method
4) All that is learnt using inductive
method is remembered easily as it is
self-acquired.
5) In this method, the pupils observe
and analyze particular objects of
similar and different nature and try
to arrive at general truth.

26. DEDUCTIVE
METHOD

27. is the method in which the law is
accepted and then applied to a number
of specific examples. The child does
not discover the law but develops skills
in applying the same, proceeds from
general to particular or abstract to
concrete.

28. Steps involved in
deductive method
1) Like the inductive method, the
first step is the clear understanding
of the problem.
2) It may involve the study of a
particular thing and phenomenon.

29. Steps involved in
deductive method
3) Principles and generalizations are
reviewed to find the one which may be
applicable to find a solution.
4) Principles and generalizations are
reviewed to find the one which may be
applicable to find a solution.

30. Steps involved in
deductive method
5) Verification of the inference is
done by applying it to a case. If it
solves the problem then it is accepted
otherwise the procedure is repeated
to find the correct one.

31. Merits of deductive
method
1) Deductive method is short and
time-saving. It takes little time to
solve the problem by predetermined
formulae.
2) This method is very useful for
small children because with small
children we generally use story or
telling method.

32. Merits of deductive
method
3) In the deductive method, the teacher’s work is
very much simplified. He/she simply gives a rule
and asks the pupils to verify it by application to
several concrete examples. For example, students
are told that the
area of rectangle = Length xBreadth. Then a few
sums are solved before the students. The
students apply these formulae to solve these
problems and they memorize it for future use.

33. Merits of deductive
method
4) This method glorifies memory, as
the students have to memorize a
considerable number of formulae and
definitions.
5) This method is adequate and
advantageous during practice and
revision stage.
6) This method is very useful for
small children
