2. Introduction
Development of models
of teaching is the recent
innovation in field
of teaching technology.

3. Concept of Teaching Model
Teaching model is a kind of detailed plan of teaching a lesson
that could lead to effective learning.
Definition of Teaching Model
According to Joyce and Weil (1972) –“Teaching model is a pattern
or plan which can be used to shape a curriculum or course to
select instructional materials and to guide a teacher’s actions.”

5. Concept Attainment Model
(CAM)
The CAM was developed from the work of Jerome Bruner,
Jacquline goodnow and George Austine. It comes under the
category of Information Processing Models. It is also known as
Bruner’s Concept Attainment Model. CAM is a teaching strategy
to teach concepts.
What is Concept Attainment ?
Concept Attainment is An indirect instruction strategy that
uses a structured inquiry process.

7. Fundamental elements of Concept Attainment
Model
Focus: In practice, the model works as an inductive model
designed to teach concept through the use of example. The three
variations of model have the common target.
Syntax: It includes the act of concept formation an the act of
concept attainment.
Concept formation---------

8. Syntax
Phase Selection Model Reception Model
Phase 1. Presentation of data
Identification of Attributes of
Concept
 Teacher presents
unlabeled examples.
 Students inquire which
examples are positive ones.
 Students generate and
test hypotheses.
 Teacher presents labeled
examples(both positive and
negative)
 Students compare the
attributes, in positiveand
negative attributes.
 Students generate and
test hypotheses.
 Students name the concept,
state definition
Phase 2. Testing attainment of
the concept
 Students identify additional unlabeled example.
 Students generate examples.
 Teacher confirms hypothesis ,names concept.
Phase 3. Analysis of thinking
strategies
 Students describethoughts.
 Students discuss type and number of hypotheses

9. Principles of reaction: It guide the teacher’s response of the learner.
Support system: Concept attainment lessons require that positive
and negative exemplars be presented to the students.
Social system: In the CAM, the teacher is the controller of the
situation. The three major functions of the teacher are to record, prompt
and present additional data.
• This model can be used teaching of language, grammar, science and
fundamentals of mathematics.
• This model is also an evaluation tool.
• The model can be used with students of all grades.

10. Merits of Concept Attainment Model
It is helpful in developing the power of imagination of the students.
It helps students to analyses things systematically and development
of reasoning power of the students.
Limitations of Concept Attainment Model
The concept attainment model ignores the ‘social
interaction,’ matrix of the classroom situation. It decries
expository teaching.
