Exploring 5E Model Approaches To Inquiry-Based Learning
This module explores the 5E Framework—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate—as a transformative structure for implementing inquiry-based learning in classrooms. Grounded in constructivist principles, the module promotes active, student-centered learning that nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and self-directed growth. Each phase builds upon the last, creating a dynamic and iterative learning cycle adaptable across all subjects.
Teachers are guided through effective strategies, practical steps, and implementation structures to enhance lesson interactivity, curriculum alignment, and formative assessment. The module empowers students to connect ideas, discover meaning, and grow independently, while offering teachers flexible methods, professional growth, and stronger classroom engagement. Ultimately, it redefines the learning experience into one that is reflective, hands-on, and deeply impactful for both students and educators.
