Enhancing student active learning in consumer behaviour class using 5E learning cycle: A conceptual paper

Abstract

5E learning cycle was suggested as a better option for students’ learning and has brought a positive impact on students learning education, particularly with theory and practice components. These method of learning is a student’s centre oriented learning model which solely prioritize on students own experiences, creates active participation and built creative critical thinking skills. 5E learning cycle consist of engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration, and evaluation. This study is intended to determine students’ perceptions of 5E learning cycles in their learning activity and to explore the impact of 5E learning cycles towards student’s active learning. The discussion is based on the information gauged from an estimated number of 60 undergraduate students who will be enrolling in BPMM3013 Consumer Behaviour Class in UUM. Data will be collected qualitatively from various sources such as students’ reflections, lecturer’s reflections, peer feedback, lecturer’s feedback, and focus group interview. Meanwhile for quantitative method, a survey will be developed through Google form. The data will be analysed using transcribe technique and regression analysis.
