Application of 5 E lesson model in the teaching of "Medicinal plants" subject of class VI

Abstract

Teaching students to obtain knowledge independently is one of the main goals of today's education system. In this context, priority is given to course models that will reveal students' research interests. The 5E model is one of the modern teaching models based on constructivism. Constructivism is a model which claims that knowledge may be actively established by students.

The 5 E lesson model, based on a constructive approach, allows the application of independently obtained knowledge in the teaching of biology. The 5E learning model requires prior knowledge of the subject, openness to new ideas, and comparison of prior and post-knowledge. In this lesson model, the student goes through the process of discovering knowledge via exploration, experimentation, and learning. The teacher acts as a mediator who encourages and supports.
