What is a generalization and describe the three levels of generalizations.

A generalization is a tool used as an aid for organizing instruction. It is a clear statement that is universally true and is written as complete statements. Learners will need to grasp and comprehend a generalization for an effective intervention to occur. There are three levels of generalizations: (1) the first level may be a statement of fact, definition, identification, or simple description; (2) the second level makes comparisons or shows relationships among ideas, expressing increased scope of the subject matter; and (3) a third level includes some form of explanation, prediction, or interpretation.
