teacher supports students to create and test hypotheses and to make and justify
decisions. The teacher monitors students' understanding, providing explicit feedback,
and adjusting instruction accordingly.
Evaluate
The final phase of the 5E Instructional Model is the Evaluation stage. During the
Evaluation stage, the teacher evaluates students' progress toward achieving specific
learning objectives for the activity. In addition, students are encouraged to assess their
own understanding and abilities in relation to the objective(s) of the activity. The tasks
may involve writing summaries, applying concepts and skills to novel situations,
constructing a concept map, or taking a quiz.
Teacher's Role
The teacher supports students to
continuously refine and improve
their work using assessment criteria
in preparation for a performance
of understanding. They integrate
evidence from each phase,
formally recording students'
progress against learning goals. The
teacher provides feedback and
assists students to evaluate their
progress and achievements. They
support students to reflect on their learning processes and the impact of effort on
achievement. The teacher guides students to identify future learning goals.
