Chapter on model may make one think (11)
I believe the answer is:
contemplate
'think' is the definition.
(contemplating is a kind of thinking)
'chapter on model' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c'.
'model' becomes 'template' (template is a kind of model**).
'c'+'on'+'template'='CONTEMPLATE'
'may make one' is the link.
(Other definitions for contemplate that I've seen before include "Think seriously" , "Consider" , "Intend" , "Look at thoughtfully" , "Ponder" .)
