The concept formation model is used to give students the ability to differentiate a set of ideas presented byt the teacher. This models lends itself to higher order thinking for the students. This model makes the students more active participants in their learning.
Here is a great website that will give you more information on concept formation.

Concept formation allows students to "connect their experiences with the available data." (Lasley, p. 177). Not only do students have freedom of data grouping in CA, they can also come up with different/creative ways of labeling their groups. Divergent thinking is prevalent throughout the CA process as students are constantly connecting words and ideas together.
