The document introduces the 5e model, a constructivist framework for student-centered learning that includes the phases: engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate. It emphasizes active learning through engagement and technology integration, providing examples of lessons and assessments within these phases. The document also discusses the SAMR framework to enhance educational tasks through technology, promoting creativity and collaboration.

1. Introduction to the 5E Model
• Today, we’re diving into the 5E Model—a
framework for student-centered learning
rooted in constructivist theory. We’ll explore
each phase: Engage, Explore, Explain,
Elaborate, and Evaluate.

2. What is the 5E Model?
• The 5E Model is based on constructivist
learning theory. It promotes active learning
through student engagement, exploration,
and reflection across five distinct phases.

3. Engage – Phase 1 of the 5E Model
• Focus: Capture students’ interest through
curiosity and emotional involvement.
Activities may include questions, scenarios, or
visuals related to the new concept.

4. Explore – Phase 2 of the 5E Model
• Purpose: Students investigate and interact
with the concept through inquiry-based,
hands-on activities, fostering critical thinking
and discovery.

5. Explain – Phase 3 of the 5E Model
• Goal: Students articulate their findings
through discussion or reflection. Teachers
clarify and formalize concepts using key
vocabulary and explanations.

6. Elaborate – Phase 4 of the 5E
Model
• Purpose: Extend students’ understanding by
applying new knowledge to real-world
contexts. This phase deepens comprehension
through creative problem-solving.

7. Evaluate – Phase 5 of the 5E Model
• Assess understanding through quizzes,
projects, or self-reflection. Evaluation should
be ongoing to identify misconceptions and
provide feedback.

8. Integrating Technology with the 5E
Model
• Technology enhances engagement and
assessment in each phase. Examples: virtual
simulations for Explore, digital tools for
presentations in Explain, and online quizzes
for Evaluate.

9. Sample Lesson Using the 5E Model
+ Technology
• Example: Teaching the water cycle. Engage:
interactive video. Explore: virtual simulation.
Explain: digital presentations. Elaborate: group
model design. Evaluate: online quizzes.

10. Applying the SAMR Framework –
Exercise 1: Writing a Quiz
• SAMR: Substitution, Augmentation,
Modification, Redefinition. Examples:
Substitution – digital quiz; Augmentation –
instant feedback; Modification – student-
generated questions.

11. Applying the SAMR Framework –
Exercise 2: Redefinition
• Redefinition: Example—students create an
interactive digital game incorporating quiz
questions. Technology transforms the task,
allowing for creativity and collaboration.

12. Conclusion
• The 5E Model fosters student engagement and
deeper learning. Integrating technology and
SAMR can enhance this process, offering new
ways to teach and assess understanding.
