Learning Cycle
From Learning and training wiki
 LEARNING CYCLE |
| Established planning method in science education, that is organized in five parts:[1] |
| Parts | Content |
|---|---|
| Engage | Learner's interest is captured and the topic is established |
| Explore | The learner is allowed to construct knowledge in the topic through facilitated questioning and observation |
| Explain | Learners are asked to explain what they have discovered, and the instructor leads a discussion of the topic to refine the learners' understanding |
| Extend | Learners are asked to apply what they have learned in different but similar situations, and the trainer guides the learner toward the next discussion topic |
| Evaluate | The trainer observes each learner's knowledge and understanding, and leads learners to assess whether what they have learned is true. Evaluation should take place throughout the cycle, not within its own set phase. |
