Science Chapter 4 Chapter four went over the importance of inquiry instruction. I already went over this in chapter 1, 2, and three so I will not bore you. What I really learned out of this chapter was the 5-E model. I love it. I feel that it is so important to teach this way. It allows the students to use their own minds and to really think and learn and to understand what they are learning. This model helps me as a teacher to use different factors that will enhance my students learning. I also feel that this model can and should be applied to all subjects and not just for science.
The 5-E model is a great approach to teaching inquiry in science and, I agree, in other subjects as well.
One of the other strengths of this model is that it allows the teacher to incorporate other methods. Discovery can be used in the explore phase, for example. More traditional methods, such as lecture or textbook reading, can be used in the explain phase. In my 20+ years in the field, I have not found a better approach to teaching science in the classroom.
Here's another way of saying the same thing . . .
This was an interesting chapter. The authors, clearly, do not rule out the use of other, more traditional, teaching methods. However, the authors are just as insistent about their preferred approach to teaching science. When it comes to teaching scientific THINKING, inquiry methods rise to the level of best practice. For many in the profession, the 5-E model is, arguably, the best articulated approach to teaching scientific inquiry.
