Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present instruction techniques based on concept that related among curriculum, methods of instruction and evaluation because instruction for effective application to the ability of learners should be associated with the brain function that collect all information in strong long term memory by data consolidation in the form of concept. Therefore, the instructors should emphasize the concept-based instruction that concentrates on the preparation of conceptual framework from all related contents, then incorporate the action learning to enable students to simulate the practicing of conceptual formation by themselves. Meanwhile, the evaluation should encompass the formative evaluation that reflects the development of conceptual cognition by students and the summative evaluation that reflects the result of conceptual cognition created by students themselves. The instruction that assimilates the concept-based learning by students would provide the foundation for the effective cognitive domain required for the 21st Century skills.
