This model focused on should engage us in a standardized times, a specific loving search for set of actions, measurable results, and a knowledge reward/punishment system. (Freire, 1998, pg.4) However, this version of effective education no longer meets the needs of our changing world. Prior ideas about knowledge and its purposes are being challenged. In today’s world, facts are available online and the virtue of knowing an answer is no longer the most valuable trait. instead, students need to become skilled in the ability to ask questions, be inventive, and use knowledge to solve authentic problems. Inquiry-based teaching aims to increase student engagement in learning by helping students to develop the hands-on, minds-on skills needed for the 21st century. This approach honors the complex work of learning. It prioritizes the knowledge and experience students bring to the classroom and it promotes active problem solving, communication of results, and the shared construction of new ideas. An Introduction the 5E Learning Cycle The learning cycle is a widely recognized model of inquiry-based teaching. The origins of the learning cycle date back to the 1960's and the work of Dr. Robert Karplus. Dr. Karplus was a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, who enjoyed sharing his work and who would visit elementary classrooms to present his ideas. After trips to the classroom, Dr. Karplus felt the desire to know more about how to teach well. Therefore, he teipvieourses ac orgcoursesicourse-vIUTALStiNX+ UTIITL 1L.01x+3T201Gcoursewareli20eDd2McTet4S7obectIb22101da2aiBe42ec7O4TeA TESTE22dacaa.. 14 eranore Inairy- Based Teactng athe SE Lesson Cycle | nary Based Teaching en the SE Lesson Cycle | UTHTL.1 tx Courseware |eaK continued to work with the elementary students as he studied the work of Jean Piaget, a developmental psychologist renowned for his work in education. During this time, Dr. Karplus and a colleague, J. Myron Atkin, developed a style of learning called "guided inquiry” (Atkin & Karplus, 1962). This styl # learning focused attention on student ideas and observations as the basis for learning, It included the stages of exploration, discovery, and invention. Atkin and Karplus hoped to support students in drawing on their own experiences and findings as a way to develop inferences and make sense of phenomena. Itis this notion of guided inquiry that is at the heart of most learning cycle models, including the SE model, The SE model was developed by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and includes five learning cycle stages, each beginning with E. These stages are Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, and Evaluation. In line with the guided inquiry tradition, student ideas take a central role in each stage. The BSCS model evolved from the work of other instructional models and incorporates findings from research on teaching and cognition. It draws on the work of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and others, as well as the findings of a synthesis report on how people learn put forth by the National Research Council and the National Acadernies of Science (1999).

UTeach uses the SE lesson cycle as a model lesson structure to help new teachers develop the skills needed to implement inquiry-base+ teaching in their classrooms. The videos you will see in this course shon # two graduates of the UTeach program each implementing a SE lesson in their high school classrooms. We hope that this course will also offer insight as to how you might adapt this lesson cycle to fit your own instructional needs. This course will address each of the 5Es one by one. The first module in this course will focus on the Engagement stage. Let's get started. Where to find out more: Research on teaching and learning: Bransford, J. A., Brown, and R.Cocking, eds. 1999.
