Abstract :

The aim of the research was to adapt the 5E model cycles as daily lesson plans, uses for biology lesson delivery processes and evaluate its effectiveness in comparison with the uses of classical steps of daily lesson plans. Quasi-experimental method was used to identify variables of data collections in which recognized variables were set to compose of 1-5 rated score checklists. The 5E model cycles were adapted as daily lesson delivery processes instead of the classical steps of teaching biology that 40 trainees of biology teaching conducted peer-teaching twice using both the newly designed and the classical steps in four Colleges of Teacher Education of Ethiopia, whereby the effectiveness of using both the processes of daily lesson plans were evaluated comparatively. As a result, adapting the 5E model cycles for lesson delivery process was 50.65% more effective than using the classical steps in the process of teaching biology. The research was concluded by the fact that adapting the 5E model cycles in biology lesson delivery process played significant roles to carry out classroom discussions confidentially, construct conceptual understanding and self preparedness in learning to conduct practical education.
