Concept A Model

The document discusses the Concept Attainment Model, which is designed to help students deepen their understanding of concepts they already have some knowledge of. It involves providing students with examples and non-examples of a concept to practice critical thinking and hypothesis testing, similar to the scientific method. Students sequence examples hypothetically and define the concept by listing characteristics. The model allows teachers to assess student understanding of concepts and critical thinking skills.
