Dear colleagues,
TL;DR: The POGIL Project runs 3 day workshops in July on Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). These workshops use POGIL principles to help faculty understand how POGIL works and how it can change your classroom. For details, see: https://pogil.org/workshops-events/events The OpenPath project has funding to send a few POSSE alums to one of these workshops. If you are interested, contact me. Details: If you have attended a POSSE in the last few years, you have heard about and experienced POGIL. POGIL is an evidence-based instructional approach in which student teams work on classroom activities that are specifically designed to help them understand key concepts and develop skills in critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, etc. Research shows that when students interact and construct their own understanding, they learn and retain more (Chi & Wylie, 2014). POGIL a long history of funding and research across STEM disciplines, including the 2017 NSF IntroCS-POGIL project (http://introcspogil.org). POGIL has also been the focus of recent SIGCSE Special Project grants and NCWIT Engagement Excellence awards. At SIGCSE we will have a POGIL workshop on Wed from 7-10, a special session on POGIL and assessing process skills on Thu from 10:45-12:00, papers in an Active Learning session on Thu from 1:45-3:00, and a POGIL BoF on Thu from 6:30-7:20. If you have questions, please let me know. Clif --- Clif Kussmaul <mailto:c...@kussmaul.org> c...@kussmaul.org <http://kussmaul.org/> http://kussmaul.org +1-484-893-0255 EDT=GMT-5
