The 5 E Instructional Model A Framework for Inquiry-Based Instruction Rohani bt. Abdul Hamid (PhD)

Introduction According to Colburn (2006), the Science of teaching lies in organizing the content, lectures and so on, whereas the art lies in conveying, presenting, transmitting and transferring it to the students.

the principal duty of a teacher is imparting information of the subject material consists of the factual knowledge and application of this knowledge. (Rajender Gupta; Rao and Reddy,09).

A successful teacher Uses interactive teaching Include discussions,inquiry, posing interesting questions, group work, humour and so forth.

Many science teachers are not willing to adopt inquiry method in their teaching It is possible that many teachers have not been exposed to inquiry teaching models they are lack of skills and strategies inquiry teaching models are difficult to manage, lack of equipment and materials teachers expressed their concern that inquiry does not work for some students especially the lower ability students

Explain

Engage Activity which will focus student’s attention, stimulate their thinking, and access prior knowledge. Student asks questions such as, Why did this happen? What do I already know about this? What have I found out about this? Shows interest in the topic.

Demonstration Reading Free Write Analyze a Graphic Organizer KWL Brainstorming

Explore Activity which gives students time to think and investigate/test/make decisions/problem solve, and collect information.

Perform an Investigation Read Authentic Resources to Collect Information Solve a Problem Construct a Model

Explain Activity which allows students to analyze their exploration. Student’s understanding is clarified and modified through a reflective activity.

Student Analysis & Explanation Supporting Ideas with Evidence Structured Questioning Reading and Discussion Teacher Explanation Thinking Skill Activities: compare, classify, error analysis

Elaborate Activity which expands and solidifies student thinking and/or applies it to a real-world situation.

Problem Solving Decision Making Experimental Inquiry Thinking Skill Activities: compare, classify, apply

Evaluate Activity which allows the teacher to assess student performance and/or understandings of concepts, skills, processes, and applications.

Any of the Previous Activities Develop a Scoring Tool or Rubric Performance Assessment Produce a Product Journal Entry Portfolio

Types of Questions Attention Focusing: Have you seen? Do you notice? Measuring & Counting: How many? How long? Comparison (for sharper observation): In how many ways are your seeds alike and how do they differ? Action: What happens if… you place your pill bug in damp sand? …you pinch the seed leaves off a young plant? Problem-posing (more sophisticated, follows exploration & understanding, not a good first question): Can you find a way to… make your plant grow sideways? Can you separate salt from water? Can you make a sinking object float?

Planning an inquiry lesson using 5E Model Engage : learner has a need to know, therefore, defines questions, issues or problems that relate to his/her world Learner

Teacher

use prior knowledge

poses problems

has an interest

ask questions

experiences doubt

reveals discrepancies

has a question (s)

causes disequilibrium

identifies problems to solve, decisionsassess prior knowledge to be made, conflicts to be resolved Writes questions Develops a need to know

Explore : Learner gathers, organizes, interprets, analyzes, evaluates data Learner hypothesizes and predicts

Teacher questions and probes

explore resources and materials models when needed designs and plans

makes open suggestions

collects data

provides resources

builds models

provides feedback

seeks possibilities

Explain : Learner clarifies understandings discovered, reaches conclusions or generalizations and communicates in varying modes and forms. Learner

Teacher

clarifies understandings

provides feedback

shares understandings for feedback

asks questions, poses new problems and issues

forms generalizations

models or suggests possible modes

reflects on plausibility

offers alternative explanations

seeks new explanations

enhances or clarifies explanations

employs various explanation

modes

forevaluates explanations

Expand : Learner applies these conclusions or generalizations to solve problems, make decisions, perform tasks, resolve conflicts or make meaning. Learner

Teacher

applies new knowledge

ask questions

solves problems

provides feedback

makes decisions

provides resources

resolves conflicts

models when necessary

Evaluate : Learner reflects on their own work by using quality indicators, find out their strength and identify what they would like to improve. Learner

Teacher

self reflects and evaluates

ask questions

plans and carries out new projects

provides feedback

ask new questions

provides resources

seeks further clarification

evaluates makes suggestions provides clues and prompts

Conclusion Preparation might be a bit tedious but inquiry approach in teaching has always enhance our students thinking critically and creatively. When inquiry models of teaching were implemented, they were very effective in enhancing student performance, attitudes and skill development (Holdzdom and Lutz, 1985).
