The 7E model showed larger science effects than the 3E model, but evidence for 7E superiority is limited by few and geographically concentrated studies¶

Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Instructional model variant significantly moderated science effects (F = 5.03, p = .03), with the 7E model (g = 1.23) significantly larger than the 3E model (g = 0.42). → Polanin 2024
q3 i? The 5E model (g = 0.82) did not differ significantly from either the 3E or 7E models in posthoc tests. → Polanin 2024
Evidence¶
Polanin 2024¶
Polanin, J. R., Austin, M., Taylor, J. A., Steingut, R. R., Rodgers, M. A., & Williams, R. (2024). Effects of the 5E Instructional Model: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. AERA Open. https://doi.org/10.1177/23328584241269866
q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Confirmatory moderator analysis for the science domain found "statistically significant differences between the 3E, 5E, and 7E models (F = 5.03, p = .03)"; posthoc tests showed 7E (g = 1.23) exceeded 3E (g = 0.42).
"the 7E model (g = 1.23, SE = 0.18) had statistically significantly larger effects (p < .01) than the 3E model (g = 0.42, SE = 0.15)"
Polanin 2024 (2)¶

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Posthoc comparisons found no significant difference between the 5E model and either other variant; only k = 7 (3E) and k = 6 (7E) studies contributed science effects.
"However, the 5E model’s results also produced a large effect size (g = 0.82, SE = 0.09), but the posthoc tests indicated no statistically significant differences between the 5E model and either the 3E or the 7E models."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Publication bias does not explain the significant positive outcomes of the 7E learning cycle in this meta-analysis — related
- Motivation effects were larger for 7E implementations, for enactments lasting at least one month, and smaller for perceived-cost outcomes — related
- STEM education with 7E instruction, flipped learning, problem-based learning or technology-enhanced learning showed no significant effect on learning achievement — reports the opposite
