The effectiveness of induction, and more specifically, Inductive Learning, lies in the way it involves students in a host of sophisticated learning behaviors. During an Inductive Learning lesson, students need to be flexible and fluent; to make associations; to identify methods of grouping; to classify; to categorize; to determine the relative inclusive- ness of groups; to use categorized information to make generalizations; and to assess their own understanding of both the content and the learning process. Thus, the Inductive Learning strategy helps students develop the thinking skills they need to achieve greater independence as thinkers and learners.
