Abstract
Bybee (1997) defines 5E instructional model as an approach that allows students redefine,)reorganize, elaborate, and change their initial concepts through self-reflection and interaction with their peers and their environment. The 5 E's Instructional Model Origin is one of the most practical recommended models in the application of constructivist learning theory. It is built around a structured sequence and designed as a tangible and practical way for teachers to implement the constructivist theory. In other words, the model is based on constructivism which confirms that learners build or construct new ideas on top of their old ones. The origin of the model refers to 1980s when Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS) Team, whose leader was Rodger Bybee designed a model based on constructivist thinking. They named the model the 5E's to represent all the stages and their numbers. The 5E instructional model is predicated on inquiry based learning. In this model, instructors must work with their students, who will feel more motivated to learn when they feel supported by their instructors to generate thought-provoking questions and create hypotheses. The instructional model also promotes rational discussions as well as collaborative problem solving, which ultimately lead to understanding (Gillies etal, 2012).
