Step Four— Quadrant Two Left
Step four of the 4MAT System engages students in objective thinking. The emphasis here is analysis of verifiable concepts, facts, generalizations and theories. The role of the teacher is to present information and experience in complete and systematic ways. The good “two -left” lecture builds upon the personal connections established in quadrant one to foster conceptual thinking. This is a left mode teaching set. Note: This is McCarthy’s application of Kolb’s abstract conceptual, reflective mode as well as Jung’s thinking function.
