5E Instructional ModelThe 5E Instructional Model is a learning cycle based on a constructivist view of learning. Constructivism embraces the idea that learners bring with them preconceived ideas about how the world works and that they need to redefine and reorganize those ideas through learning experiences and self-reflection in order to gradually gain a more accurate and deeper scientific understanding. The 5 phases of the 5E model encourages this constructivist approach to learning by having students explore and gradually construct their own understanding of scientific concepts. For further explanation, please read the NSTA Article: BSCS 5E Instructional Model. To see how the 5 E model is evolving, please read Expanding the 5E Model. |
