Introducing the Teaching Practice: Fundamentals of the 5E Model, an exceptional online course specifically tailored for teachers. Developed collaboratively by the School of Education at LUMS, LUMS Learning Institute, and Knowledge Platform, this course aims to enhance your teaching practices and transform your school's learning environment.
The 5E framework, initially devised as a method to integrate the scientific method into science classrooms, has now evolved into a powerful tool for fostering deep student engagement and developing essential skills like critical thinking, communication, analysis, and collaboration. While critical thinking itself is a complex skill that cannot be directly taught, this course provides strategies and approaches to nurture critical thinking abilities in students.
