Reference/s: III. 6E Model PLAN / TEACHER’S ACTIVITY ENGAGE/REVIEW - EXPLORE (DISCOVER) - EXPLAIN - ELABORATE (DEEPENING BOTH STUDENT & TEACHER) - EVALUATE/ASSESSMENT EXTEND/HOMEWORK/ASSIGNMENT - Prepared by: ______________ STRATEGIES https://primaryconnections.org.au/resources-and-pedagogies/pedagogies/5e-modelframework-guided-inquiry The 5Es Engage The purpose of the Engage phase is to elicit students' prior knowledge, stimulate interest and gather diagnostic data to inform teaching and learning. Each unit begins with a lesson that mentally engages students with an activity or question. It captures student interest, provides an opportunity for them to express what they know about the concept or skill being developed, and helps them to begin to make connections between what they know and new ideas. Explore Students carry out hands-on investigations in which they can explore the concept or skill. They grapple with the problem or phenomenon and describe it in their own words. This phase allows students to acquire a shared set of experiences that they can refer to to help each other make sense of the new concept or skill. The Explore phase is characterised by multiple opportunities for students to experience hands-on learning and represent their thinking. Explain The purpose of the Explain phase is to support students to develop scientific explanations, drawing from experiences and observations, using representations. Students continue to develop knowledge of concepts and demonstrate their developing understanding. Elaborate This phase provides opportunities for students to apply what they have learned to new situations and develop a deeper understanding of the concept or greater use of their science inquiry skills. It is important for students to discuss and compare their ideas with each other during this phase. Investigations in the Elaborate phase build student capability for science inquiry skills in a meaningful context. Evaluate The final phase provides an opportunity for students to review and reflect on their own learning, and on their new understanding and skills. Students represent changes to their understanding, beliefs and skills. RUBRIC CRITERIA EXCELLENT (9-10) GOOD (7-8) FAIR (5-6) POOR (3-4) Objectives Objectives meet proficient criteria, are clearly stated, and relate to meaningful skills or concepts essential to student learning. Objectives are appropriately identified and aligned with state/ national standards; objectives are specific, observable, and measurable Objectives are appropriately identified, but may not be aligned with state/ national standards, and may not be specific, observable, and/or measurable Objectives are not identified or not appropriate for the grade level, developmental level, or topic Instructional Strategies and Techniques Plan of instruction meets the proficient criteria, utilizes multiple instructional strategies, and includes guiding questions appropriate for engaging students in higher-level thinking Plan of instruction is clear and designed to promote critical thinking, inquiry, problem-solving strategies, or creativity; instructional strategies facilitate the learning goals and objectives Plan of instruction may, at times, be too vague or lacking elements or details necessary for effective delivery of information; instructional strategies may rely too heavily on lecture or worksheets, or may not facilitate the learning goals and objectives Plan of instruction is so vague or generalized that it is unusable Assessment/ Evaluation Assessments meet the proficient criteria and reflect a variety of assessment types and/or methods Formal assessment tool(s) and evaluation instrument(s) are both included. The assessment reflects the objectives and is appropriate to the topic and grade At least one formal assessment tool is included, but the evaluation instrument may be missing. The assessment may not reflect the objectives or may not be Assessment may be described, but the assessment tool and/or evaluation instrument are not included. Evaluation is not appropriate for level appropriate to the topic or grade level the objective Student learning activities meet the proficient criteria and include opportunities for remediation and enrichment. Learning activities engage and motivate students with opportunities to demonstrate skills or exhibit conceptual understanding of the learning goals through both guided and independent practice or inquiry Learning activities to engage students are not included or are not appropriate for the grade level or topic Learning activities to engage students are not included or are not appropriate for the grade level or topic Teamwork/ Participation/ Collaboration Everyone in the group modeled a high level of participation, self-motivation, and commitment to improving personal fitness Good level of participation, displays quality movement during game play Needs some reminders to participate and puts forth minimum effort Poor effort, little or no movement during activity Class Presentation / Delivery Highly effective in delivering a wellpolished oral presentation. All group members presented equally. Preparation was strongly evident. Eye contact is established from the start to end and the presenters are seen on the screen. Presenters include a ppt presentation Effective in delivering the oral presentation demonstrating good communication skills. All group members presented and preparation was evident for the most part. The presenter maintains eye contact while explaining and giving examples but goes back to the notes in between explanations. The presenters can be seen on the screen. Presenters include a ppt presentation. Somewhat effective in delivering the oral presentation demonstrating average communication skills. Some members presented more than others. More preparation was needed. The presenter reads from notes; there is no eye contact and looks at the audience very rarely. The presenter can be seen on the screen. Has a ppt presentation but lacks information. Ineffective in delivering the oral presentation demonstrating below average/poor communication skills. Substantially over and/or not all members presented. Lack of preparation was evident. The presenter cannot be seen on the screen. No ppt presentation. Structured Application (discussion)
