Guiding students to understand key concepts and develop process skills with POGIL: tutorial presentation

This tutorial will introduce participants to Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in computer science. POGIL has been developed, and validated over the last 20 years, primarily in chemistry and other STEM areas. In POGIL, teams of 3-5 learners work on scripted inquiry activities and investigations designed to help them construct their own knowledge. Teams follow processes with specific roles, steps, and reports that encourage individual responsibility and meta-cognition. Studies have generally found that POGIL significantly improves student performance. More information is available at http://pogil.org and http://cspogil.org.
