The teachers play a pivotal role of mediator and facilitator in the whole teaching learning process. For effective transaction of teaching learning process, the teaching experiences can be organized into Models of Teaching. Concept Attainment Model (CAM) is an Information Processing Model proposed by Jerome Bruner with an objective of development of inductive thinking and concept development.
