Different from the experience I had previously in Indonesia, Science learning in Thailand (especially in Udonpit) uses the learning cycle 5E. From observations done by me on my CT's documents and also conversations with the science lecturer of UDRU, Asst. Prof. Dr Chanchira Choomponla, I learned about the 5e learning cycle. Learning cycle 5e includes:

1. ENGAGE: This phase of the 5E's starts the process. An "engage" activity should make connections between past and present learning experiences. Prepare activities that are highly engaging (e.g., think-pair-share, thought-provoking visuals, prepare manipulatives, use iClickers, etc.). Students should become mentally engaged in the concept, process, or skill to be learned.

2. EXPLORE: The purpose of this stage is to get students involved in the topic; providing them with a chance to build their own understanding. Give students the opportunity to get directly involved with the topic, phenomena and materials. Grouping students is often helpful. As they work together in teams, students build a set of common experiences which prompts sharing and communicating. The instructor acts as a facilitator, providing materials and guiding the students' focus. The students' inquiry process drives the instruction during the exploration.

3. EXPLAIN: This phase helps students explain the concepts they have been exploring. They have opportunities to verbalize their conceptual understanding or to demonstrate new skills or behaviors. This phase also provides opportunities for instructors to introduce formal terms, definitions, and explanations for concepts, processes, skills, or behaviors.

4. ELABORATE: The purpose of this stage is to allow students to use their new knowledge and continue to explore its implications. Through new experiences, the learners develop deeper and broader understanding of major concepts, obtain more information about areas of interest, and refine their skills. Elaborate is the stage where instructors also help students apply their knowledge in other topics. 

5. EVALUATE: The purpose of this stage is for both students and instructors to determine how much learning and understanding has taken place. It's an on-going diagnostic process that allows the instructor to determine if the learner has attained understanding of concepts and knowledge. Evaluation and assessment can occur at all points along the continuum of the instructional process. Some of the tools that assist in this diagnostic process are: rubrics, instructor observation, student interviews, portfolios, project and problem-based learning products.

Science learning (especially practicum) is focus on POE: Predict, Observe, and Explain. Student should predict what will happen with the phenomenon or things, and then student be able to observe through hands on experiment. Lastly, student be able to explain the topic regarding the phenomenon.
