Abstract
The study investigated the effects of 5E-Learning Model on Creativity, Performance and
Retention in Ecology among Secondary School II Students in Zaria Education Zone,
Kaduna Nigeria. The research design adopted for the study was quasi experimental design
pretest-posttest, post-posttest control group. The population was 5180 of co-education
students from nineteen schools.Six schools were ramdomly selected and pretested out of
which two schools of equivalent classes purposively sampled 100 students was drawn. The
instruments were Biology Achievement Test (BAT) and Creativity Assessment Scale
(CAS) which were validated byexperts. The reliability coefficients were 0.86 and 0.85for
BAT and CAS respectively. The treatment was for six (6)weeks. Six Research Questions
and sixnull Hypotheses guided the study.Research Questions were answered using
descriptive statistics mean and Standard Deviation on students performance using 5Elearning
model and lecture method among others.The null Hypotheses were tested using ttest
at significant level of P≤0.05 among others. The result shows there was no significant
difference in performance of students taught Ecology concepts using 5E-Learning Model
based on gender.In testing the hypotheses on performance, t-test,2-way MANOVA
multiple analyses at P≤0.05 were used. Mann Whiney test was used for creativity among
others.The findings of the study showed that experimental group performed significantly
better than those exposed to lecture method.This shows that, 5E-Learning model of
instructionwas favorable to students of ecology concept.Recommendationmade
thatteachers teachingEcology concept to students should be encouragedto use5E-Learning
model of instruction in teaching at SeniorSecondary Schools among others
