| Process Orientated Guided Inquiry (POGIL) has been adopted at a large variety of institutions. This presentation will describe an ongoing evaluation study that attempts to address the diversity of institutions and degrees of POGIL implementation in the design of an achievement measure. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis will be used to study three schools in depth and to search for generalizable traits that can be tested across institutions. The end goal of this research is to provide data that describes the effectiveness of POGIL for student leaning in three very different institutions. Differences in student aptitude, goals and approaches to learning chemistry will be explored and described. Emphasis on matching achievement measures to teacher philosophy will also be discussed, but the end result of this project is to explore the effect POGIL has on student learning in general chemistry classes. |
