INQUIRY BASED LEARNING - 5E MODEL


The 5E Approach 

The 5E Approach to instruction is an alternate way to design instruction to help maximize student engagement in learning. 

5E stands for engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. 

These are the steps that you and your students will take in order to learn and understand a particular skill. 

Each area of the 5E approach specifies what you and your students should do to access learning, so your lesson plans should be written to reflect that. 

The 5E Lesson Plan A lesson plan using the 5E approach looks quite simple. 

All you need are five sections, one for each of the Es in 5E. 

“Engage” transitions from “I tell them or show them” to helping students reflect on what they already know and ask questions about what they don’t yet understand, which propels them toward an initial feeling of dissatisfaction. 

“Explore” moves away from thoughts such as “I give them,” “I demonstrate,” or “They look at a model” and toward students themselves unpacking the problem, developing a model, and gathering data. 

“Explain” no longer means turning and talking, having a carousel discussion, or asking questions like “What did” and “What was.” Now, it means digging deeply into where the question has been answered or the problem solved, and using evidence to support claims. 

"Elaborate" is less about reading, watching or introducing new ideas, and more about forging the incredibly valuable concept-to-self, concept-to-concept and concept-to-world connections that help tie anchor and investigative phenomena together. 

“Evaluate” cannot simply mean vocabulary assessments or graded journals anymore; now it means reflecting critically on the investigative process, the hypothesis, and the anchor phenomena.
