  1. Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning An overview of POGIL presented by Bart Fennemore

  2. What is POGIL? • A form of group learning • Use of specially designed inquiry materials • Leading questions guide students toward their own valid conclusions • Students are prompted to use the Scientific Method for learning • The instructor is a facilitator of the material and will periodically intervene for individual and class-wide issues.

  3. Who is POGIL meant for? • Currently, science courses • Textbooks utilizing POGIL have been developed for: • General Chemistry • Physical Chemistry • Organic Chemistry • Biochemistry

  4. Why use POGIL? • Experienced learning is more likely to convert to true learning • Students that are interactive with the curriculum are more successful • Knowledge means more when students have input into their own understanding • Provides instructor with instant and continuous feedback

  5. POGIL provides Better Learning for Students • An environment of active engagement and thinking • Conclusions are drawn from analyzing data and discussing ideas • Teamwork is required • Problem-solving skills are nurtured

  6. Benefits of POGIL for Students • Student-centric • Logical thinking and teamwork is valued above the correct answer • Learning is not a solitary activity • Learning is different than memorizing • Knowledge is constructed by students • Students are engaged and energized

  7. What do POGIL materials look like?The cover sheet • Topic title • A leading question of “Why?” • Short introduction to lesson materials • Learning Objectives • Success Criteria • Prerequisites • Provides sequence • New Concepts • Definitions: usually student created

  8. What do POGIL materials look like?The lesson materials • Information or Model • Key Questions • Questions lead to discussion for understanding of information or model • Exercises • Formative learning exercises to be done in cooperation with Key Question discussion • Problems • Success Criteria marker

  9. Support for POGIL • NSF funding supports dissemination of the POGIL model • Attend a 1-3 day conference • Use materials that have already been developed and tested • Visit a site implementing POGIL • Consult with the experts via phone, email, or web • Apply for on-site consultation

  10. Cost of implementing POGIL • Virtually free • Highschool materials for Chemistry can be obtained from the POGIL web site without any fees • General Chemistry text • Foundations of Chemistry • $38 per pupil (shipping included) • $300 for site license – allows access to electronic version of the text for the life of the current edition
