ABSTRACT:
Educational system for facilitating the learning through the discovery and inductive reasoning process wherein expression means as to a set of interrelated concepts are divided into first and second groups on objects which are physically manipulatable to disclose any expression of the first group into adjacent relation to any expression of the second group, to provide a number of correct examples in which the objects physically mate and a number of incorrect examples in which they are in non-mating relationship physically, with the numbers of correct and incorrect examples being such as to enable the student to learn the interrelated concepts, without pre-instruction, and solely from the discovery and inductive reasoning process during trial and error manipulation of the objects and to facilitate the development of the discovery and inductive reasoning process itself irrespective of the subject matter of the concepts. Preferably, an introductory set of objects is supplied to the student to enable him to become involved in the mating operation of the objects after which a large number of objects are supplied to enable the student to confirm and expand upon his learning of the process. Important features relate to the configuration of the objects such that they can be readily manipulated and such that the expressions thereon, rather than the physical form of the objects, quickly becomes of primary interest to the student.
