Which approach uses concept questions as part of the guided discovery process?

• A. Inductive Learning
• B. Guided Discovery
• C. Deductive Learning
• D. Task-Based Learning

Answer: (A)

Concept questions in a guided discovery session prompt learners to notice language patterns and infer the rule from examples rather than being told the rule outright. This process of noticing and deriving rules is the essence of inductive learning, where students build understanding by analyzing data and formulating the generalization themselves. Deductive learning presents the rule first, so concept questions don’t drive discovery in the same way. Task-Based Learning centers on completing meaningful tasks rather than uncovering a grammatical rule. So, the use of concept questions to guide learners toward discovering rules aligns with inductive learning.
