The 5E Model

The 5E Model is a teaching framework that guides how lessons are structured to promote effective learning. It includes five phases: Engage (capture students’ interest), Explore (investigate and discover concepts), Explain (clarify understanding), Elaborate (apply knowledge to new situations), and Evaluate (assess understanding). This approach encourages active participation and critical thinking, helping students build a deeper understanding by moving through these steps in a logical sequence. It’s widely used in education because it supports student-centered learning and helps learners connect new knowledge to what they already know.
