Concept Formation Research
“Concept Formation” is a teaching strategy that helps students form a clear understanding of a concept, theory or idea through studying the idea’s origin or its history of development. As the name implies, the concept formation strategy allows students to understand the way models and concepts are initially formed.
Prior research indicates that concept formation is an essential component of student achievement. It helps students see the relevance and importance of the theory or idea. And it makes the subject matter more understandable. Concept Formation is also an inductive learning process which emphasizes how concepts are refined after they are initially developed. Therefore, all of our research projects are designed to apply concept formation to the theories and models we are evaluating.Copyright Notice: The articles and research papers below are intended for private viewing by the DRI Community or those who otherwise have legitimate access to them.
