FUN 'n' LEARN
Concepts are spontaneously developed in the first level through perceptual and practical experience in everyday activity. They are developed through rich experiences, although unsystematic and related to particular human contexts.
Scientific concepts are theoretical and structured on a higher level and depend upon the usage of language and learning.
Scientific concepts are powerful as they can be applied to different contexts and fields of learning. This can be translated into increased interaction, awareness and control of thought.
There are different ways and levels of concept learning, like:
Labelling: Giving no explanation, or simply understanding that 'things just are'. For example, "This is an orange."
Enumerating: Giving odd facts, or simply understanding that 'this is what they are'. For example, "There are oranges in the shop."
Making a link: Pairing contiguous ideas, for example "Oranges grow on tree."
Identifying common characteristics: Also identifying similarities. For example, "Oranges are round, orange in color, and have pips", etc
Identifying concepts belonging to a class: Knowing class name. For example "Oranges are a fruit."
Identifying concept belonging to a pattern or hierarchy: Relating to other classes. For example: Orange as fruit/food/plant/living thing.
Relating concepts to other pattern of concepts: Identifying the similarities/differences with other classes. An example would be 'orange' related to linguistic, mathematical, scientific, historical, geographical, economical and other conceptual patterns.
