What is the primary goal of the Discovery Model?

• A. Primary goal is to develop concepts and generalizations.
• B. A systematic guide for planning instruction or a lesson
• C. A plan, approach, or technique used to teach learning objectives.
• D. The expense paid by students for the instruction at a school

Answer: (A)

Learning through discovery means students actively explore and reason to uncover ideas themselves. The main aim is for learners to develop concepts and generalizations from their own discoveries, patterns they notice, and rules they articulate from the evidence they gather. This helps them understand ideas at a deeper level and apply them in new situations, rather than simply following a fixed set of steps.

So, the Discovery Model is best described as focusing on building concepts and generalizations from inquiry. The other ideas describe either planning or instructional procedures, or irrelevant costs, which don’t capture the core goal of discovery-based learning.
