5E Instructional Model
When Students Become the Architects of Their Own Future
Education is not a journey of filling students with information, but a process of igniting curiosity and a passion for discovery. When students are given the opportunity to experience, question, and construct their own understanding, that is when true growth happens.
SISS adopts a Constructivist educational philosophy combined with the 5E instructional model, transforming every lesson into a meaningful adventure where students take the lead and actively shape their own learning journey.
The Constructivist Philosophy – Every Student as an Active Explorer
Every student holds within them a natural curiosity and unique creativity. Education is not merely about “delivering” knowledge, but about guiding students to uncover answers to the world around them. Inspired by the Constructivist philosophy, teachers at SISS serve not only as instructors but also as facilitators and learning companions.
Instead of passively receiving information, students are encouraged to:
- Ask questions and challenge assumptions.
- Experiment with ideas and embrace mistakes as part of the learning process.
- Discuss, collaborate, and share perspectives.
- Self-reflect and draw lessons from their own experiences.
When students construct knowledge with their own hands and minds, learning becomes long-lasting. It forms the foundation of critical thinking and problem-solving skills – essential qualities of global citizens in the 21st century.
The 5E Model – Transforming Every Lesson into a Journey of Discovery
| With the 5E model, lessons at SISS are no longer just lectures – they are dynamic, immersive experiences that inspire exploration and deep understanding. |
A Learning Journey Shaped by the Students Themselves
We do not draw a fixed path for our students. Instead, we provide them with the essential “building blocks” – knowledge, emotional intelligence, and life skills – so that they can construct their own journey.
Every day at SISS, students not only learn well but also live well – with compassionate hearts, independent thinking, and a boundless passion for discovering the world in their own unique way.
