During which of the phases of the 5E Instructional Model would you expect to see the teacher encouraging students to explain con
cepts and definitions in their own words, and formally providing definitions, and using students' previous experiences as the basis for explaining concepts?
The 5E model is an instructional model which includes the phases: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. The BSCS approach to the Learning Cycle-the 5 E model was developed by Roger Bybee
The steps in this model are used by educators to enable students build a strong foundation in knowledge and encourage active participation. In the explain phase which is guided by the teacher, students ask questions and are clarified so that there is synthesis of new knowledge.
