The BSCS 5E Instructional Model: An Inquiry-Based Method of Instruction

Course Description

This course offers a specific model of inquiry instruction called the 5E model. Included in the course is a description of each of the phases of the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) as well as how to implement each phase in the classroom. Although originally designed for a science classroom, the 5E model can be applied to any content. By incorporating this model, educators provide more inquiry in their instruction allowing students to make their own discoveries and therefore improve their learning.
