The modification of the 5E model consisted of adding a new phase (Express) after the explanation phase to formally assess the progress of the students in the learning cycle. The results of the express phase were then used to differentiate instruction in the elaboration phase with the ultimate goal of helping all students achieve the learning objectives. This study was comprised of a mixed methods approach where the quantitative instruments of pre and post assessments were used in addition to qualitative instruments of interviews. Also, a quantitative instrument of a t-test of independent samples was used to conclude the significance of the modified 5E model in comparison with the original. This research was conducted at a local elementary school in the Toledo area. A total of 49 students and one classroom teacher participated in the study. The results of the study suggested that grouping the students by ability was an important strategy that appeared to help students improve on their science knowledge. Furthermore, the results seemed to confirm the hypothesis that the modified 5E model effectively addressed the learning needs of all students and confirmed the potential of the model and the need to test it on a much larger scale based on the significance that was found in the t-test of independent samples. 2011-06-24 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1308431440 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1308431440 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
