    How to empower student learning?
    Empowering student learning involves giving students a voice in their education, allowing them to take ownership of their learning process. This can be achieved through personalized learning plans, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting collaborative projects. Additionally, integrating technology and diverse resources can enhance their engagement and motivation, making learning more dynamic and effective.

    As you mentioned critical thinking, students are more likely dependent on teachers most of the time while writing anything. Having their own thoughts about something is more high-yielding than having no thoughts at all. There should be more activities to enhance student's critical thinking abilities. Because when they have their own thoughts about something they are more likely to understand the topic insights and can write effectively about it.

  • active learning strategies

    Active learning is an approach to instruction involves actively engaging students with course material i e... Through discussions ; problem solving ; role plays
    Instructor guidance is still crucial in the active learning class room

    strategies

    Active learning begin like provocative in which you should start your lecture with picture ...this application make class so interesting & learning
    By turn taking reading in which each student show its 100% concentration & attention in active class
    By photo class in which students use smart phone to capture pictures which is relevant to topic
    By pre make hand out
    By one sentence summary also class make active
    By students story telling
    By peer review
    By role play
    By fish bowl

  • When choosing an instructional model, teachers seek strategies that help students gain a complete understanding of new concepts. They aim to engage students, motivate them to learn, and guide them toward skill development. One of the ways to do that is by incorporating inquiry-based approaches like the 5E Model, which is grounded in active learning.
    The 5E Model
    The 5E Model, developed in 1987 by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, promotes collaborative, active learning in which students work together to solve problems and investigate new concepts by asking questions, observing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions.

    The 5E Model is based on the constructivist theory to learning, which suggests that people construct knowledge and meaning from experiences. By understanding and reflecting on activities, students are able to reconcile new knowledge with previous ideas. According to subject matter expert Beverlee Jobrack, “Educational movements, such as inquiry-based learning, active learning, experiential learning, discovery learning, and knowledge building, are variations of constructivism.”

    In the classroom, constructivism requires educators to build inquiry, exploration, and assessment into their instructional approach. In many ways, this means the teacher plays the role of a facilitator, guiding students as they learn new concepts.
    ENGAGE
    In the first phase of the learning cycle, the teacher works to gain an understanding of the students’ prior knowledge and identify any knowledge gaps. It is also important to foster an interest in the upcoming concepts so students will be ready to learn. Teachers might task students with asking opening questions or writing down what they already know about the topic. This is also when the concept is introduced to students for the first time.

    EXPLORE
    During the exploration phase, students actively explore the new concept through concrete learning experiences. They might be asked to go through the scientific method and communicate with their peers to make observations. This phase allows students to learn in a hands-on way.

    EXPLAIN
    This is a teacher-led phase that helps students synthesize new knowledge and ask questions if they need further clarification. For the Explain phase to be effective, teachers should ask students to share what they learned during the Explore phase before introducing technical information in a more direct manner, according to “The 5E Instructional Model: A Learning Cycle Approach for Inquiry-Based Science Teaching.” This is also when teachers utilize video, computer software, or other aides to boost understanding.

    ELABORATE
    The elaboration phase of the 5E Model focuses on giving students space to apply what they’ve learned. This helps them to develop a deeper understanding. Teachers may ask students to create presentations or conduct additional investigations to reinforce new skills. This phase allows students to cement their knowledge before evaluation.

    EVALUATE
    The 5E Model allows for both formal and informal assessment. During this phase, teachers can observe their students and see whether they have a complete grasp of the core concepts. It is also helpful to note whether students approach problems in a different way based on what they learned. Other helpful elements of the Evaluate phase include self-assessment, peer-assessment, writing assignments, and exams.

  • @MJANKb9ddefc9b1 great thought and brilliant explain

  • @MJANKb9ddefc9b1 To improve student learning, incorporate interactive and personalized teaching methods. Foster a supportive and engaging classroom environment.

  • @MJANKb9ddefc9b1 One of the best way to learn is learning -by- doing . And all that methods you listed above play vital role in empowering students learning and also develop communication and coordination skills among students.In group work they experience the leadership qualities and strength there weaknesses.

  • @MJANKb9ddefc9b1 Thanks for sharing. Can this technique 5E work well with language acquisition?How can this 5E engage large classes?
