| One of the strengths of the NSF Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) project is the ability to implement a bit at a time. As a faculty member in a traditional chemistry department, the predominant mode of instruction is the lecture mode. This paper will describe how elements of POGIL have been implemented into one section of a multi-section general chemistry course to foster student engagement and develop the critical thinking and teamwork skills of students as they acquire content knowledge. Strategies that have been used are personal response system “clickers” in association with concept questions and short written reports on selected demonstrations. Assessment using the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) instrument will be reported. |
