Ex. Contructivist 5E's vs. Inquiry method
Collaborative Learning vs. Direct Instruction
I find it interesting that you put Constructivist 5Es vs Inquiry Method - Douglas Llewellyn (2002, Inquire Within: Implementing Inquiry-Based Science Standards, p. 47) actually linked the two together in his "Constructivist Inquiry Cycle" - perhaps worth investigating further?
The best way to teach science is cooperative learning based on problem solving. The steps of the method are as follows:
1- Raising the problem: in which the teacher presents a set of information, data, or scientific phenomena that arouse students’ interest in the problem under study.
2- Defining the problem: in which the teacher helps the students to formulate the problem and define it in one or more questions in an accurate way.
3- Suggesting solutions: in which the teacher encourages students to present a set of ideas or proposed solutions to the problem that is the subject of the lesson.
4- Discussing solutions: in which the teacher directs the students to test ideas and proposed solutions to the problem, relying on the information and data previously collected.
5- Reaching the best solution: in which the teacher, in partnership with his students, chooses the most appropriate proposed solutions.
6- Generalization: in which the students, under the supervision of the teacher, generalize the results they have reached in solving the problem that is the subject of the lesson.
