The Conceptual Lens
The conceptual lens is an instructional tool that helps teachers create intellectual synergy and deeper levels of thinking and understanding (Erickson, 2002, 2007). It serves to focus each studentâs thinking when studying a particular topic. The lens integrates thinking at the conceptual level as students see patterns and connections between facts, concepts, and other applications. Consider the examples in the following feature box showing topics of study without, and then with, a conceptual lens.
Sample Topics of Study and Conceptual Lenses
Topic Possible Conceptual Lens
The Holocaust Humanity/Inhumanity
Global Warming Responsibility/Sustainability
Linear Functions Relationships
The Presidential Election Ideologies/Conflict
Once the student knows the attributes of the lens and has applied it to the particular topic, he or she can transfer the lens and apply it to other topics both within and across disciplines. The conceptual lens engages a studentâs personal thinking at the conceptual level. Material is not just âfacts to memorize,â but rather âideas to understandâ that are supported by facts. The use of a conceptual lens is another strategy to stimulate synergistic thinking.
