THE INSIGHT MODEL By

OF TEACHING(PLATO). Sahitha s s
The "Oral Questions Programme" states
that "By using questions it is possible to direct a
student's thinking through to a logical solution - a
definite sequence of performance or an objective.
As the Programme suggests, oral
questioning is a method of structuring knowledge,
a means of tying the elements of a pupil's
experience into a particular cognitive pattern or
configuration.
MEANING
The insight model discard the assumption that
the meaning of a teaching model is merely deliver the
knowledge or ideas through teaching to the mental
domain of the students.
According to this model the knowledge can not
be provided merely through the expression of sense
organs, but the knowledge principles of language are
most important.
Knowledge of the content is also a necessity.
The knowledge can not be provided merely by
speaking the words or listening them. But , mental
processes and language both work together.
The approach of the model is radically different.
The relationship between teacher pupil and the subject is
conceived of in a new way.
The task of the teacher is to prompt and stimulate
his pupils to realize for themselves the knowledge that is
in their own minds.
Logical analysis to arrive at the true knowledge.
Power of sight is in the eyes and not outside.
By turning the eyes from looking in the wrong direction
to the way it ought to be, one can observe everything
correctly.
All the knowledge is already there is in the learners in
deeply hidden .
putting out suitable questions to makes students to think
and answer.
ORAL QUESTIONS
PROGRAMME
a. To promote mental activity
b. To arouse and maintain student activity

c. To guide thought
d. To evaluate learning.
This method of teaching is appropriate, and
indeed essential, in those subjects where
acquisition of concepts, principles and criteria of
appraisal are the objects of study.
The educational point needs to be made first
of all that the only justification of teaching these
subjects to students is that it involves them in
valuable mental exercise.
Methods, such as hinting, commenting,
provoking, and the famous Socratic profession of
ignorance are all ancillary means to achieving the
same end.
But these do not exhaust the possibilities of
the Insight Model. Its other main area of interest
to the educator is that of "discovery methods", to
which is closely allied to the concept of learning
through "role-playing.
STEPS INVOLVED IN PLATO’S MODELS OF
TEACHING

1.Through questioning, testing the previous


knowledge of the learner.
2. Through questioning help the students to find
the elements present in the topic.
3. Classification and categorization of the
elements identified.
4. Moving from one concept to another finding
the relationship between them.
