Under the current background of educational reform, the teaching model in university is undergoing a profound transformation from teacher-led to student-centered. 5E teaching model, consisted with Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration and Evaluation phases, is regarded as an innovative approach of focusing on students’ active exploration and knowledge construction, which provides an effective support for the reform of university physics teaching. This research mainly discusses the feasibility of implementation in university physics courses, and analyzes its applications and values from the perspectives of teaching quality and educational objectives. Teaching practice demonstrates that 5E teaching model obviously enhances students’ learning interests and cultivates scientific inquiry skills, innovative consciousness and independent thinking abilities, further improving knowledge transfer and comprehensive application skills. Therefore, 5E teaching model has important theoretical significances and practical values for promoting the reform of university physics education, further improving educational quality and cultivating comprehensive innovative talents according with the requirements of the new era.
