LEARNING TO THINK INDUCTIVELY Chapter 3
Inductive Model of Instruction • A method of instruction where teachers use powerful examples to help students learn a concept or generalization
What is “thinking inductively”? • Forming concepts by collecting and organizing information • Rolling structure that evolves over time
4 Phases of the Inductive Model • Identifying data • Grouping/Classifying data • Interpreting data and developing categories • Converting categories
Phase 1 – Identifying Data • Examine data closely • Label or tag items • Determine attributes • Similarities/Differences
Phase 2 – Grouping/Classifying Data • Classify data several times • Cycle back and collect or reexamine data
Phase 3 – Interpreting Data & Developing Categories • Reclassify, refine or collapse categories • Categories emerge • Students get control of their data
Phase 4 – Converting Categories into Skills • Form hypotheses • Develop inquiry to test hypotheses
Classroom Learning Environment • Cooperative learning • Student centered • Teacher guided & monitored
