INDUCTIVE
LEARNING
STRATEGIES
By: Magdadaro & Lambojon
Introduction
In our contemporary society, teachers are discouraged to
spoon-feed information to learners. Instead, teachers are to
provide opportunities for learners to discover concepts on
their own. One way of doing this is through the inductive
learning strategy.
What is Inductive
Learning?
Inductive Learning
Sometimes called "discovery learning" • Based on
the principle of induction.
Induction to derive a concept by showing that if
it is true to some cases, then it is true for all.
This is in contrast to deduction where a concept
is established by logically proving that it is true
based on generally known facts.
Inductive Learning
The inductive method in teaching is commonly
described as "specific to general", "concrete to
abstract", or "examples to formula".
Used to described the deductive method.
In an inductive learning lesson, teachers design
and facilitate activities that guide the learners in
discovering a rule.
Inductive Learning
Activities may involve comparing and contrasting,
grouping and labeling, or finding patterns.
In mathematics classes, learners engage in
inductive learning when they observe examples
and then, later on, generalize a rule or formula
based on the examples.
INDUCTIVE LEARNING
There are four processes that the learners go
through when given an inductive learning activity;
(1) observe,
(2) hypothesize,
(3) collect evidence, and
(4) generalize.
OBSERVE
When given a lot of examples.
These examples must be well-thought-of so
that the learners would eventually arrive
at a complete rule.
EXAMPLE:
Discover the rule in multiplying decimal
number.
HYPOTHESIS
The learners form rules in their minds
as they observe.
Assure them that there are no wrong
hypotheses.
COLLECT EVIDENCE
Here the Pupils would test their hypothesis.
By applying their hypothesis to other
examples. .
GENERALIZE
the learners would now formalize their
hypothesis to a rule.
Support the learners so that they would
use mathematical terms in stating their
rule.
