Support system:- Exemplars: Acn, Dcp-f-n-g-v, ac-o-\n, ]-km-c, _men, t\{-gw Non-examples: s\v, Nn, F, amwkyw, sh Activity card: t]mj-I-L-S-I-sf kw_-n-p tNmZy- Principles of reaction:- The teacher acts as a guide, motivation, facilitation, etc. Teacher supports the pupils hypotheses and creates an atmosphere of meaningful dialogue. Again becomes supportive at the final phase. Encourages different strategies.
Instructional effects:- i. Getting clear notions about nature of concepts ii. Developing skills in using appropriate concept-building strategies. iii. Attaining specific concepts iv. Develops skills in inductive reasoning.
Nurturant effects:-
i. Sensitivity to logical reasoning ii. Tolerance of ambiguity and initial errors iii. A sense of using alternative perspectives.
