5E’s Learning

Model

K.THIYAGU,
Assistant Professor,
Department of Education, Central University of Kerala
 The 5E Model was introduced by
Roger Bybee, of
Biological Science Curriculum Study
 The 5E's is an instructional model based on
the constructivist approach to learning, which
says that learners build or construct new ideas
on top of their old ideas.
 Engage

Evaluate Explore

Elaborate Explain
 I. Engagement Phase

Students are engaged in the classroom through

different learning tasks
 II. Exploration Phase

The students have

an opportunity to
get directly involved
with the phenomena
and materials.
 III. Explanation Phase

Explanation is the point at which the learner begins

to put the abstract experience and clarify their
mis-conception through discussion in the classroom
 IV. Elaboration Phase

The Elaboration phase of this learning cycle provides an

opportunity for students to apply their knowledge to new
situations, which may include raising new questions and
hypotheses to explore.
 V. Evaluation Phase

Students to assess their understanding and abilities

and provides opportunity for the teacher to evaluate
student progress toward achieving the learning
objectives for the activity
Example
Subject : Geometry Class: IX

Topic : Length of segment parallel

to either X or Y axis.

Technique : 5 E Model
I. Engage

 Premises
• The preconceptions shape how they assimilate new learning.
• To develop competence in an area of inquiry, students must have a
deep foundation of knowledge.
• Students must be taught explicitly to take control of their own
learning by defining goals and monitoring their progress toward
meeting them.
• Each phase of the 5E’s has a specific function and contributes to the
teacher’s coherent instruction and to the learners’ formulation of a
better understanding of scientific concepts.
• Students’ construction of knowledge can be assisted if teachers use
sequences of lessons designed to challenge students’ current
conceptions and to provide them time and opportunities to
reconstruct their knowledge.
 Conclusion

The 5E Model of Science Instruction is the best way to

achieve a depth of scientific understanding. It
transcends mere recitation of science facts and gets
students to think scientifically.
