This document discusses the type study method of inductive learning, where students study a single representative case to learn about a larger group or system. It explains that studying one typical river system or flower that has all the key characteristics is sufficient to understand rivers or flowers in general, as long as the single case studied is representative of others and includes all relevant parts of the system. The method involves selecting a typical topic, studying its details, comparing it to the group, and generalizing conclusions about the group from the single case.

Type study method
1. It is an inductive procedure
except that only one case is
studied.
2. If students were to study the parts of
river system, it is not necessary to study
many river systems. Just one river would
be sufficient, but it must be a
representative of other rivers and must
have all the other parts of the river
system.
4. In studying a flower, one needs to study only
one flower which has all the characteristics of
most flowers.
5. Selection of the topic
Apperception and motivation
Statement of a typical case
Study of details
Comparing details
Generalization
6. This step is crucial in the type study
method. The case or topic must be
represented of the group. It is typical or
average rather than the exception that is
needed.
