Inspiring Article for Kindergarten Teachers
In this article, the author inspired kindergarten teachers to use the 5E teaching and learning model. The role of teachers are no longer direct instruction or teaching from a mere manual. According to the author, the 5E model leads teachers to the role of facilitator as they pose a question in order for students engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate science phenomenon.
The focus of the article by authors Jenny Sue Flannagan and Liesl Rockenbaugh is teaching students how to become inquisitive by asking questions in science. However, the example lesson attached is a wonderful way to demonstrate how this can be achieved in the kindergarten classroom.
I would recommend for kindergarten teachers to read this article because it inspires an innovative way for students to gather information and peek their curiosity through exploration.
