Concept Development Model

It took a while for me to find a concept to teach using this model, but I really did like the idea. At first, I thought a concrete subject would be easier to teach that a more abstract one. I realized that if I am to follow EAST pedagogy, then I really needed to take a more student centered approach. I chose the concept of technology, a really broad topic that I worried the students may take in a totally different direction than I wanted. I feel even with these difficulties, this model is well suited to the EAST model. It alllows the teacher to guide the students into looking more deeply at their own thought process, and also get an idea about how others think. I also really appreciate that the model can be taught, practiced and used by the student to refine knowledge and brainstorm new ideas on other concepts.
