This document provides an overview of the 5-E Model of Instruction, which is an instructional model for lesson planning. It consists of 5 phases - Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate/Extend, and Evaluate. The 5-E Model was developed in the late 1980s based on constructivist learning theories to actively involve students in the learning process. It is most effective for new concepts that are difficult to master when teachers have time for the engagement and exploration phases. The purpose of each phase is to spark student interest, allow them to discover concepts themselves, understand new information, apply their knowledge, and demonstrate their understanding.

• Aptitude does not determine how
much students learn. Sustained
and directed effort can yield high
achievement for all students.
(Lauren Resnick)
• Work that is carried out
collaboratively for a common
objective and the discourse that
accompanies the process
contribute to the highest level of
academic achievement (Crede,
1997)
• Give the pupils something to do,
not something to learn; and the
doing is of such a nature as to
demand thinking; learning
naturally results (John Dewey)

5. • A novice learner has loosely
integrated knowledge maps.
• An advanced learner or expert
possesses tightly integrated
knowledge maps.
• The more loops a learner
makes through the recursive
cycle of expository, problem
solving, and experiential
learning, the tighter is the
knowledge map and the greater
is the chance for ascending the
ladder of understanding.

• The 5-E Model helps students develop
their own frames of thought
• The 5-E Model incorporates collaboration
and cooperative groups
• The 5-E Model makes the teacher a
facilitator of learning

• The 5-E Model makes students more
responsible for their own learning
• The 5-E Model enables the teacher to

What is it?
• An organizational tool that actively
involves students in the learning process
• A teaching cycle based on the interactive
exploration of a concept
• A procedure that layers knowledge
discovered by students with knowledge
amplified by teachers

11. 5-E Model
What is it?
• Students build on former concepts in order
to place the new ideas into their working
framework of knowledge
• A learning cycle that supports the building
or accumulation of knowledge based on
previously learned concepts.

What would you say is the
purpose for each
component of the 5-E
Model of instruction?

22. Engage
Purpose: to peak
student interest and
get them personally
involved in the lesson
• Access prior knowledge
• Generates curiosity
• Gets students to ask the WHY
questions
• Motivates students to learn
• Gets students attention

23. Explore
Purpose: to get students
involved in the topic;
providing them with a
chance to find the solution
for themselves
• Students work together
• Students must make their own
decisions
• Students generate questions and
ideas while within the situation or
problem.

24. Explain
Purpose: students are
given a chance to take
what they have learned so
far and figure out what it
means.
• Students are asked to explain
their experiences
• Class discussion is held
• More questions are generated
• New definitions are explored

25. Extend/Elaborate
Purpose: to allow
students to use their new
knowledge and continue to
explore its implications
• Students apply knowledge to other
situations
• Students consider the effects of
their knowledge
• Students apply to their own world
• Students relate to other concepts

26. Evaluate
Purpose: The student
demonstrate understanding of
the new concept by observation
or open-ended response
• Self-assessment
• Teacher observation
• Ability to apply to other topics
• Performance Assessment
• Portfolio
• Rubrics
