5E model

The 5E model is a constructivist way of teaching -learning process.

The 5E's are Engage, Explore,Explain,Elaborate and Evaluate.

Engage phase- In this phase, the teacher will engage the students with some activities.The teacher can also ask the thought provoking questions in this phase.The main purpose of the teacher is to check the student's previous knowledge.

Explore phase- In this phase, the teacher will provide the students with different learning resources. The students will explore their knowledge.The students will discuss with each other about the concept.

Explain phase- In this phase, the teacher will have a good interaction with the students. The teacher will make the students to explain. If it is partially correct, the teacher will guide the students.It helps the students to understand the concept.

Elaborate phase-In this phase,the students will be helped to go further into the concept.The students will be able to apply the concept in daily life situations. Also the students will be able to cite many examples for the particular concept. The students will be able to solve a problematic situation.

Evaluate phase- In this phase, the teacher will check the students understanding of knowledge.In this the teacher will provide worksheets, crossword puzzle or assignments to students in order to know whether they have understood the concept.

The 5E teaching approach is student-centric. It is different from behaviouristic way of teaching where the students have to listen what the teachers are saying. In 5E approach the students will arouse the interest in subjects. They will be given hands-on and minds-on experience. They will develop their thinking process. They will make their own generalisation. Through this way, the students can retain the concept for a longer time and without cramming they will understand the concept.''

5E is the best way of developing skills in students.
