What are the five stages of the 5L Learning Model?

• A. Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation
• B. Engagement, Exploration, Elaboration, Explanation, Evaluation
• C. Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate
• D. Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Explication, Evaluation

Answer: (A)

Think about this as a sequence of how learning unfolds: first spark interest, then give students space to investigate, then present and clarify the ideas, then extend and deepen understanding, and finally assess and reflect on what was learned. The best option follows that exact order: Engagement, Exploration, a stage where the ideas are presented and clarified, Elaboration, and Evaluation. The middle stage is the one where concepts are explained or clarified to students, so the list keeps the standard terminology and the proper progression. The other choices shift terms around—using verb forms like Engage or Explore, or swapping in a less standard term such as Explication—which disrupts the familiar sequence.
