The various chapters refer to:
(1) general implementation of the 5E model;
(2) implementation of the purposes of each of the 5E phases;
(3) the constructivist, inquiry, language and assessment foci in Primary Connections (mainly following
Harlen, 2009);
(4) evidence as to whether the SiS components for effective learning of science (Tytler, 2003) were present;
and
(5) other implementation issues that arose from analyses of the teachers’ feedback. A summary of the key
findings for each of these five areas is included with additional detail for (1), (2) and (5); all findings are
supported by extracts from teacher feedback (in the full report)- for (1), (2) and, to some extent (5), some
standout extracts are integrated in the following outline.
