The Influence Of Live Model, Symbolic Model, and Verbal Description Model On Senior High School Students’ Understanding of Sociological Concepts. This study was aimed at investigat­ing how live, symbolic, and verbal description models relate to students’ understanding of sociological concepts. Cor­relational research design, involving 43 students, was employed in the study. The results show the highly significant influence of live, symbolic, and verbal description models on the students’ under­standing of sociological concepts (F= 39.891, p=0.001). Furher computation of each variable, however, demonstrates that live model has stronger correlation to the students’ understanding of socio­logical concepts than the other models (live model, r = 0.544, symbolic model, r = 0.375, verbal decrip­tion model, r = 0.475).
