HOW WE LEARNED TABA THEORY?

Taba Inductive Strategy is looking at specific items and making generalization Taba Inductive is originated by Hilda Taba and the main goal is inductive thinking

The Steps (CIA)

Phase 1:Concept Formation
1. Give the students the data set (at times students may bring their own data set)
2. Classify the data set into groups looking at common attributes
3. Name the groups

Phase 2: Interpretation

Students:
1.Compare the groups of data set identifying the similarities and differences 2. Explore the relationships between them

Phase 3: Application

1. Look for concepts that emerge: Ask what does this mean?
2. Make hypotheses and predictions: What would happen if . . .
3. Find how the items are useful in life.

below is a step of using TABA with a subject and topic:

Subject: Daniel and Revelation

Topic: Prophetic Symbols in Daniel and Revelation

3. Asks the students to identify the similarities across the groups of prophetic symbols of Daniel and Revelation. First is to try to identify the similarities and differences between Group 1 and Group 2, next is Group 2 and Group 3, then, Group 1 and Group 3.	Identifies similarities and differences across the groups of prophetic symbols of Daniel and Revelation.
