INTRODUCTION

Approaches are learning theories which will be applied when delivering subjectmatter. Methods are a set of teachers’ systemic action to reach learning objectives ina limited time frame; it includes procedures based on approaches. Techniques are themanipulation of the method to optimize learning, for example, exercises in classpertaining to a subject matter. A teacher, therefore, is free to construct a teaching

method based on an approach. The relationship between approaches, methods andtechniques delivers model. Models will explicate teaching methods and strategies, which are in turn based on teaching approaches (Kamaruddin, 1993). Teaching models prescribe tested steps and procedures to effectively generate desiredoutcomes. The number of emerging models and the ones that have emerged isuncountable. Each emerging new model either explores a new approach or attemptsa modification of the conventional ones as to cater the uniqueness of individuals.Most importantly, any teaching model should optimize learning experiences to theneeds of each learner by carefully exploring the learning problems and offeringtailored assistance.

INDUCTIVE THINKING

The ability to create concepts is generally regarded as one of the basic thinking skills. The model presented here is from the work of Hilda Taba names for concepts; and toexplore ways of becoming more skillful at discovering and organizing information andat creating and testing hypotheses describing relationships among sets of data. Themodel has been used in a wide variety of curriculum areas and with students of allages.
