CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

           

A model of teaching consist of guidelines for designing educational activities and environments. Models of teaching are meant for creating suitable learning environment. They provide specifications for constructing learning situations. Each model represents one views of what is important to learn and how it should be learned. Model of teaching from general approaches of teaching in that they are designed to realize specific instructional objectives. For example to help children attain concepts there is the concept attainment model to teach scientific enquiry there is the Inquiry Training model and to teach creative writing there is the synthetic model. Different models of teaching strategies are required to realize different instructional goals.

Among these concept attainments Model have more important. It is one of the effective models to help children attain concepts, concept attainment model or CAM belongs to information processing model family. All the 23 families identified by Bruce Joyce and Marsha weil in 1980. Major theorists of CAM are Jerome. S.Bruner. 3 Variations of CAM was identified.

These are reception oriented model, Selection oriented model, unorganized model of concept attainment. Each concept has a set of elements. A concept is attained when all the elements of the concept are correctly identified and learnt. Name, Attributes, Examples etc are the elements of the concept.

1.2. NEED AND SIGNIFICANTS

           

Traditional model of teaching that still following in our colleges and school with big classes are lecture method. It has lot of merits but in the case of the effectiveness of the class depend upon the activeness and interest of the children. Children wants abstract thinking and the form of the content will alive in their mind, and for help the child to attain the concept, concept attainment model is essential. The concept about the content is more effectively stand in the mind of the student through this concept attainment model. Now a day this model of teaching needs very important in the teaching profession. So the study about it has significant in this situation.

1.3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

           

The present study is entitled as “ A STUDY ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CAM OVER TRADITIONAL METHOD“

1.4. DEFENITION OF KEY TERMS

            1. CAM               -        Concept Attainment Model. It is a type of

model of teaching especially it helps the children to attain concept.

1.5. OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

            To study the effectiveness of the Concept Attainment Model among the students.

1.6. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

           

It has a lot of scope. Now a day, CAM like model has it’s own importance. Traditional method has a lot of limitation, so the model of teaching gives more opportunity to all teachers. CAM helps the student to attain the concept. It consist of guidelines for designing educational activities and environment. So undoubtfully says that it simplify the hard topic and create suitable environment and learning more suitable. So, children gets a mental representation or mental picture of some object or experience.

          At the same time it has some limitations also. It gives one chance to the children to realize the concept of objects only. The theoretical parts or discretion of the lesson has its own importance, but all these are will not completely studied or learnt by CAM. Like these, a concept is different from a fact, a principle and a generalization. But all these are included in a lesson.

CHAPTER II

METHODOLOGY

          Methodology refers to the use of different kinds of methods to undertake a study.

METHODS USED FOR THE STUDY

            For the present study the investigator has used survey methods.

TOOLS USED FOR THE STUDY

          Tool used for this study is Questionnaire.

SAMPLE USED

            Sample used for this study compared Ten teacher student of Kayamkulam B.ed Centre.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Question Number	Positive Response	Negative Response	Percentage of Positive Response	Percentage of Negative Response
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15	5 6 7 8 9 5 6 9 6 7 8 9 8 5 6	4 4 3 2 1 5 4 1 4 3 2 1 2 5 4	60% 60% 70% 80% 90% 50% 50% 60% 90% 60% 70% 80% 80% 50% 60%	40% 40% 30% 20% 10% 50% 40% 10% 40% 30% 20% 10% 20% 50% 40%

          The above graph and the table shows that most of the teachers used the concept attained model for the effectiveness of their class and to help the child to attain concept.

          In helping children learn concepts efficiently, is a fundamental purpose of schooling. Until recently however most educators did not consciously distinguish the learning of concept from other type of learning. Today researches have drived into the meaning of concept, the process of acquiring them and conditions that facilitates effective learning of concepts.

Concept attainment model has 3 main syntax

1)   Presentation of the data and identification of the concept.

2)    Testing attainment of the concept.

3)    Analysis of the thinking strategies. etc.

 Al these 3 stages have it’s own importance to help the child to attain the concept.

          The above chart shows that traditional method like Lecture Method, Lecture cum demonstration Method etc are using actively in colleges and school still. So these method also has importance in teaching but for more effectiveness, teachers used more models of teaching like, concept attainment model, Inquiry Training Model, etc for different purpose. The speciality of these model teaching over traditional method is that creating suitable learning environment.

          If a teacher taught a content through a traditional method the effectiveness of the content or concept attainment is comparatively less than teach if through Concept Attainment Model (CAM).

CHAPTER IV

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

            From this study we are find out that CAM or Concept Attainment Model is one of the important and effective teaching method than any other type of teaching method. But it has its own limitation also. If a teacher thought a content through a traditional method, the effectiveness of the content or concept attainment is comparatively less than teach through concept attainment model. Traditional method like lecture method, lecture cum demonstration method etc are using actively in colleges and school still. These methods has more time needed. So most of the teachers used  “CAM” like model of teaching.
