The Application of the 5E Inquiry Model in Teaching and Learning Arabic Literature: An Observation Study at Sultan Idris Education University

The 5E inquiry model is an effective pedagogical framework designed to enhance skills through experiential inquiry learning and constructive knowledge construction. This study aims to examine the application of the 5E model in teaching and learning (T&L) of Arabic Literature at a Public Higher Education Institution (IPTA). Adopting a qualitative approach, the study utilized structured observation as the primary data collection technique involving three lecturers teaching Arabic literature courses. The observation data were analyzed to evaluate the extent to which the implementation of the 5E model encompasses the elements of Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration and Evaluation across various student-centered teaching activities. Observational findings show that the application of the 5E inquiry model in Arabic literature instruction effectively fosters two-way communication, independent material exploration, focused supplementary explanations, conceptual development and contextualized learning assessment at university. Consequently, the implications of this study indicate that the 5E inquiry model holds significant potential in empowering the instruction of Arabic literature at the higher education university level.
