Engagement
Teachers create relevant scenarios or activities to capture students' attention, spark their
interest and curiosity, and define learning objectives. This step also helps teachers assess
students' prior knowledge, laying the groundwork for subsequent instruction.
Exploration
Teachers provide an appropriate inquiry environment that offers hands-on, minds-on opportunities for
direct participation and investigation. Students observe, hypothesize, experiment, and begin to
construct understanding, experience concepts, and learn through doing.
Explanation
Through student sharing and teacher–student dialogue, experiences and findings from the exploration
are discussed, helping new concepts become integrated into students’ cognitive structures. Teachers
clarify, supplement, and correct misconceptions as needed.
Elaboration
Teachers guide students to apply acquired knowledge in new contexts through hands-on activities,
real-life practice, and parent-child interactions. This phase further develops students' divergent
thinking and comprehensive skills.
Evaluation
Teachers provide formative feedback based on students' performance at different stages, helping them
identify growth directions. Self-assessment by students also fosters a realistic understanding of
their learning, enabling them to adjust future strategies effectively.
