Concept Attainment is an indirect instructional strategy that uses a structured inquiry process. It is based on the work of Jerome Bruner. In concept attainment, students figure out the attributes of a group or category that has already been formed by the teacher. To do so, students compare and contrast examples that contain the attributes of the concept with examples that do not contain those attributes. They then separate them into two groups. Concept attainment, then, is the search for and identification of attributes that can be used to distinguish examples of a given group or category from non-examples.
I had used this strategy to teach the topic friction and its types in VIII standard in Almeida High School. I had used CAM in the set induction step , it made the students put on their thinking cap , the concept was easily attained by them.The lesson turned out to be very successful , I got a lot of positive comments from my mentor.
