The 7-E Model

1. Inquiry-Based
Approach

2. •What is Inquiry-
based Learning?

3. Inquiry-based Learning
“Inquiry” is the dynamic process of
being open to wonder and
puzzlements and coming to know
and understand the world” (Galileo
Educational Network, 2004).

4. Formulate questions
Investigate
make sense

5. Answer a
question
Support a
point of view
Provide a
solution

7. 1.Elicit
This first step serves as an interest or
motivator. (Identifying prior knowledge)

8. 2.Engagement
It builds curiosity and provides
direction for the remainder of the lesson.
During this stage the question for
investigation is developed, prior
knowledge is activated, and procedures,
rules and safety precautions are outlined.
Students should be able to immediately
transition into the exploration phase

9. 3. Exploration (Explore)
This stage initiates guided discovery.
Students manipulate the materials, make
discoveries and share their findings with
their classmates and teacher. The teacher
provides scaffolding by observing,
questioning and guiding. Exploration
provides concrete experience from which
student learning and knowledge can build.

10. 4. Explanation (Explain)
In this stage, the teacher invite their
student to share their discoveries and
explanations. Based on the descriptions
provided by the students, teachers introduce
relevant concepts, principles, and/or theories.
Students and teachers utilize the concept and
the experiences to describe and explain the
phenomenon and answer the initial question.

11. 5. Elaboration (Elaborate)
Elaboration allows students to
create connections between new
concepts, principles, theories, and real
world experiences by applying them
to a new situation.

12. 6. Evaluation (Evaluate)
Evaluation provides teachers an
opportunity to assess students
knowledge and provide feedback on
performance.

13. 7. Extend
Teachers give additional
activities to the students related
to the topic.
