2. Concept attainment model
• Jerome S.Bruner, Jacqueline Goodrow and

strategies.

6. Support System
• Material.
• Arranged in +ve to –ver order

7. Application
• Used in language teaching.
• Teaching grammar or structure of language.
• Fundamental mathematics.
• For all subjects – based on extensive man -
machine system.

8. Inquiry Training Model
• Developed by J. Richard Suchman.
• Aim – To develop the cognitive skills for

concepts of logic.

9. 3 phases
