EFFECT OF CONCEPT ATTAINMENT MODEL ON ACHIEVEMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PHYSICS Rajwinder Kaur, Ph. D. Assistant Professor, Dev Samaj College of Education for Women, Ferozepur
Concept Attainment Model as a teaching strategy to teaching is concerned with the concept formation and concept attainment. Concept attainment is a process of finding out defining attributes of a given category. Concept Attainment Model helps to clarify ideas. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Concept Attainment Model on academic achievement of Secondary School Students in Physics by using experimental method. The sample of the study included 60 Class IX students. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data. The students were divided into two groups (30 students in each group) i.e. experimental and control group on the basis of scores on intelligence test. The experimental group was taught through concept attainment model and the control group was taught by using traditional method (lecture method). After completion of teaching, a self-developed achievement test was administered on both the groups. For drawing out the result, t-test was used. The result showed that students exposed to concept attainment model possessed higher score than the students taught through traditional method.

Introduction Teaching is often thought as something that comes naturally to people who know their subject. But teaching is an intriguing, important and complex process. It takes place in a complicated social institution which is filled with diverse people. The teacher must learn to control five processes of teaching. a.
Making and using of knowledge
b.
Shaping the school
c.
Teaching with strategy
d.
Creating interpersonal climates
e.
controlling a teaching personality Model of teaching is an innovative method of teaching. There is need to direct efforts
towards transformation of teaching methods right up to development of science and technology, curriculum and material research along with teacher orientation to receive attention. Thus a theory of teaching must attempt to set forth the means of maximizing learning on the part of children. Copyright Š 2017, Scholarly Research Journal for Interdisciplinary Studies
