I believe the answer is:

paradigm

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'model' is the definition.
(I know that paradigm is a type of model)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paradigm that I've seen before include "Model or example for rapid agm" , "Conceptual framework - a map grid (anagram)" , "Epitome" , "Adam grip (anag.)" , "Prototype" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
