Introduction of 5E model
• The 5E Model is based on the constructivist theory to learning,
which suggests that people construct knowledge and meaning from
experiences.
• According to subject matter expert Beverlee Jobrack, “Educational
movements, such as inquiry-based learning, active learning,
experiential learning, discovery learning, and knowledge building,
are variations of constructivism.”
Introduction of 5E model
• In the classroom, constructivism requires educators to build
inquiry, exploration, and assessment into their instructional
approach. In many ways, this means the teacher plays the
role of a facilitator, guiding students as they learn new
concepts.
Engage
• In the first phase of the learning cycle, the teacher works to gain an
understanding of the students’ prior knowledge and identify any
knowledge gaps. It is also important to foster an interest in the
upcoming concepts so students will be ready to learn. Teachers
might task students with asking opening questions or writing down
what they already know about the topic. This is also when the
concept is introduced to students for the first time.
Explore
• During the exploration phase, students actively
explore the new concept through concrete learning
experiences. They might be asked to go through the
scientific method and communicate with their
peers to make observations. This phase allows
students to learn in a hands-on way.
Explain
• This is a teacher-led phase that helps students synthesize new
knowledge and ask questions if they need further clarification.
For the Explain phase to be effective, teachers should ask
students to share what they learned during the Explore phase
before introducing technical information in a more direct
manner, according to “The 5E Instructional Model: A Learning
Cycle Approach for Inquiry-Based Science Teaching.” This is also
when teachers utilize video, computer software, or other aides
to boost understanding..
Elaborat
e • The elaboration phase of the 5E Model focuses on
giving students space to apply what they’ve learned.
This helps them to develop a deeper understanding.
Teachers may ask students to create presentations or
conduct additional investigations to reinforce new
skills. This phase allows students to cement their
knowledge before evaluation..
Evaluate
• The 5E Model allows for both formal and informal assessment.
During this phase, teachers can observe their students and see
whether they have a complete grasp of the core concepts. It is
also helpful to note whether students approach problems in a
different way based on what they learned.
Conclusion
• The 5E Model allows educators to create a unique
learning experience for students. Teachers who can
incorporate instructional models like the 5E Model into
their classrooms help students build a strong foundation
of knowledge through active participation.
