students’ learning and to their interest in the course. Therefore, it is strongly advised that this constructivist 5E
learning model be applied to the other courses of physics and that materials be prepared in order to measure the
effectiveness of this model. It is also recommended that these models be applied in the courses which pre-service
teachers use not only in their daily life but also in their professional life to improve their top-level critical thinking
skills. Similar studies should be carried out for different science courses to investigate the effectiveness of the 5E
learning model.
