IMPACT OF 5ES INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL OF TEACHING ON SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE, INTEREST AND ACHIEVEMENT IN GEOGRAPHY

Abstract

Current studies investigate how the 5Es instructional model influences students' spatial intelligence, curiosity, and performance in geography classes. The 5E Learning Cycle Model, created by Bybee, is a method of learning that relies heavily on actual experience (1997). Starting with the letter 'E,' teaching progresses through a series of five stages in this framework. Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate make up the 5Es. The concept presented here is a recursive loop wherein one acquires knowledge via a series of encounters. To complete this study, an experimental methodology was used to examine how the 5E Learning Cycle Model influences students' spatial intelligence, interest, and performance in geography courses at the secondary level. The strongest research method for establishing causal relationships is the controlled experiment. Experimental procedures are characterised by manipulation and control. The researcher makes changes to the hypothesised causal variable and tracks the subsequent changes in the dependent variable. Hence, the alternative theory has been disproved by the use of a well-controlled experiment. The study's results suggest that the learning cycle model is related to students' spatial intelligence, interest, and performance in geography classes. Models and publications based on the 5E theory of learning make it possible for students to identify and make use of their preferred methods of learning in order to grasp population geography. According to the results, the learning cycle may be applied to fields outside of the hard sciences. If you want to get the most out of your model, your learning cycle should be accompanied with a well thought-through scenario of how to teach it. Ideally, the aid would help students make connections between what they know and what they will learn in the future. A larger sample size may be necessary to substantiate the results of this research. The 5E learning cycle may be used to evaluate students' critical thinking, communication, and other abilities in a variety of social science courses.
