What are the BENEFITS of the 5E inquiry model?
- The intention [of the 5E model] is to facilitate the transfer of concepts and abilities to related, but new situations. A key point for this process: use activities that are a challenge but achievable by the students.
- “Group discussions and cooperative learning situations provide opportunities for students to express their understanding of the subject and receive feedback from others who are very close to their own level of understanding” (Bybee, et al. 2006).
- “Learners begin to communicate what they have learned. Language provides motivation for sequencing events into a logical format. Communication occurs between peers, with the facilitator, and through the reflective process” (National Science Teachers Association).

What Research Says...
"Studies conducted using the 5E instructional model, evidence repeatedly reveals that the model increases the success of students, elevates conceptual understandings, removes misconceptions and positively changes their attitudes" (Baker & Piburn, 1997; Kor, 2006; Ozsevgec et al., 2006; Sa-glam, 2006; Çardak et al., 2008). "The 5E model includes students in activities at every stage and also encourages them to form their own concepts" (Engin, 2006).
