Today in Teaching and Learning class we watched a group of classmates present on “The Concept Attainment Model”. I carefully watched and listened as they were the first group to present the model assigned to them. I took note of important aspects of this model and how they presented to have regarding using the model in the classroom and how our group should be presenting. The roles of the model are to look at both examples of critical attributes and noncritical attributes and what they have in common. Students then write a hypothesis of what they believe the topic to be. The example activity the group did was words of things that are living and non-living. They gave us cue cards with different words on them and asked us to categorize them and express what we believed the topic to be. This model is meant to build on prior knowledge and explores different perspectives. It demonstrates the relationship between concepts and develops critical thinking skills while also engaging curiosity. This model would be great for all learning styles. After the group was done their presentation, we had a guest speaker come into the class to talk about professionalism. The guest speakers name was Rick. He asked the question of what does it mean to be a professional and what does it look like? Being professional means appropriate clothing attire, confidentiality, proper language, leaving personal biases at the door, your demeanour, how you present yourself outside of work and remembering we are representing more than just ourselves. Rick also discusses the Foundations of Professional Standards and list why each one is important.
