Sunal (n.d.) provided many instructional frameworks in his article, which was very helpful to start the process. During our teaching experience thus far, we have been using 5E instructional cycle and 4mat cycle. As 4mat instructional cycle is a very elaborated 8-phase instructional cycle, that McCarthy and McCarthy (2006) developed mainly from Kolb&#8217;s learning cycle, includes all the stages of 5E instructional model. Thus, we decided to compare many other instructional cycles with 4mat cycle and find out if we could use 4mat cycle as our base cycle. The analysis lead us to believe that 4MAT instructional cycle incorporates all the constructivist elements as mentioned by <span id=\"js-intext-string-0\" class=\"selectable\">Baviskar, Hartle and Whitney, (2009)<\/span>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1.
