2. Lesson on Concept Attainment Model
PT Roll No: ABC Class: 9th
Subject: Economics Date:
Topic: Land Factor of Production Period:
CONCEPT ANALYSIS:
1. Definition of the Concept:
In Economics Land does not mean upper surface of earth. Land comprises all natural resources which are free gift of nature to human being and available below the surface of earth, on the surface of earth and above the surface of earth i.e. sunlight, air, rain, soil, hills herbs, canals, mineral, metals, ores etc.
2 a) Essential Attributes:
i) These are freely available on, above and below the surface.
ii) It is part of factors of productions.
iii) These are source of power
b) Non- Essential Attributes:
i) Not a destructive energy.
ii) should be available to all.
iii) should not be man made resource.

3. INTRODUCTION:
Teacher will explain to the students that they are going to explore an important economics concept by comparing some ‘yes’ examplers of the concept with some contrasting instances. Their task is to figure out what the examples have in common, and how the examples differ from the contrasting instances, or “non-examples.”

4. Negative Examplers( NO) Flood Storm Desert Hails

PT’s Activity
Pupil’s Activity
Phase 1. Presentation of data Identification of Attributes of Concept /of hypothesis.
Positive Examplers(YES).
Hills/ Mountains
Sunlight
Air
Water
Minerals
Negative Examplers( NO)
Flood
Storm
Desert
Hails
II. Generation and Corrections of Hypothesis
 a). To Generation and Corrections of Hypothesis teacher present unlabelled examples:
Canals, rain, stones, moon,
b) Teacher confirms students’ hypothesis:
Teacher ask the students about their hypothesis on the basis of which they categories these items.
a). Student will try to identify the category of unlabelled items in ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ on the basis of comparison of positive and negative examplers and try to generate their hypothesis
i) Natural resources
ii) Basic Life amenities
iii) Freely Available
 B) teacher try to test the hypothesis.
c) The will refine and define the correct hypothesis

5. Phase II. Testing attainment of the concept
Syntax
Phase
PT’s Activity
Pupil’s Activity
II. Generation and Corrections of Hypothesis
LEVER: When he realise that students have attained the concept he name the concept and define the essential attributes.
PT will ask the students to frame new hypothesis in light of attributes
Student will correct Hypothesis and generalise the concept by giving definition of the concept
a) Student will correct Hypothesis and generalise that:
These are part of Land as Factor of Production
Phase II. Testing attainment of the concept
PT will ask the students to give more unlabelled examples of the concept.
rivers, herbs, ore, natural gas
b) Students generate more examples i.e.
Oceans, wind, jewels, plants,
PhaseIII. Analysis of thinking strategies/ Evaluating the
Thinking strategies/ Justification of the Concept
PT will ask the students to explain the reason to include these items in the List of YES:
1. Oceans
2. Jewels
3. Plants
4. wind.
Students will explain that :
These are freely available gifts of the nature to human being. And full fill the conditions of available freely Below, On and Above the Earth. And are source of productive energy.
