In line with the guided inquiry tradition, student ideas take a central role in
each stage. The BSCS model evolved from the work of other instructional
models and incorporates findings from research on teaching and cognition. It
draws on the work of Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and others, as well as the
findings of a synthesis report on how people learn put forth by the National
Research Council and the National Academies of Science (1999).
UTeach and the 5E Lesson Cycle
The UTeach program housed in the College of Natural Sciences at the
University of Texas at Austin has adopted inquiry teaching and the 5E learning
cycle as the basis of its nationally recognized teacher preparation program.
UTeach uses the 5E lesson cycle as a model lesson structure to help new
teachers develop the skills needed to implement inquiry-based teaching in
their classrooms. The videos you will see in this course show two graduates of
the UTeach program each implementing a 5E lesson in their high school
classrooms. We hope that this course will also offer insight as to how you
might adapt this lesson cycle to fit your own instructional needs.
This course will address each of the 5Es one by one. The first module in this
course will focus on the Engagement stage. Let's get started.
