This study explores the integration of concept attainment model of educational practices and constructivist approach of teaching to propose a Constructivist Concept Attainment Model. It also examines the impact of this Constructivist Concept Attainment Model on concept acquisition in social studies of secondary school students. A randomized pre-test post-test design was employed, involving 200 ninth-grade students from two CBSE schools in Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The experimental group was taught using the Constructivist Concept Attainment Model, while the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. Data analysis revealed that the experimental group showed significantly higher mean gain scores (M = 21.23, SD = 8.93) compared to the control group (M = 13.30, SD = 9.96), with a t-ratio of 5.93 (p < .01). The results demonstrate that the Constructivist Concept Attainment Model significantly enhances concept acquisition in social studies compared to traditional teaching methods.
