Collaborative REsearch: The POGIL Project-Faculty Development and Evaluation

化学(12)这是一个合作项目，涉及3个候选人。编号机构PI0618746，首席富兰克林和马歇尔学院穆格0618758南佛罗里达大学路易斯0618800美国天主教大学邦斯该项目通过在全国范围内传播、实施、改进、评估和研究来支持POGIL教育系统的发展。POGIL是一种在全国范围内经过测试和验证的教学策略，它结合了最近关于学生如何学习的教育研究。这是一项经过检验的模范创新，已经证明了推动广泛采用的能力。在这个项目中，POGIL的使用增加是由于区域网络的扩大，以及持续的教师发展机会的支持。该项目协调和传播POGIL材料在不同环境中的改编，并支持POGIL在战略领域的新发展。该项目发展该国目标地区的教师专业知识，通过研讨会和规划会议建立和支持地区联系，以产生具有国家中心的自给自足的POGIL从业者区域网络。评估与POGIL有关的学生学习使用一种深入的方法，该方法建立在该项目比较评估的成功历史基础上。为了衡量终身学习的技能，以及更传统的内容目标，正在开发新的工具，利用对学生学习的新的微调评估。本科STEM教与学的基础研究是推动课程改革的引擎。POGIL一直是一项以研究型教育为基础的创新。该项目正在为这一研究基础做出贡献，方法是描述在POGIL环境下学生对化学的理解是如何发生概念变化的，不仅提供了对概念变化的性质的洞察，而且还提供了对有效实施的关键特征的洞察，这些特征为项目的开发和传播工作提供了支持。

Chemistry (12)This is a collaborative project involving 3 proposals.Number Institution PI0618746, lead Franklin and Marshall College Moog 0618758 University of South Florida Lewis0618800 Catholic University of America BunceThis project supports the growth of the POGIL system of education through dissemination, implementation, improvement, evaluation and research across the country. POGIL is a nationally tested and proven pedagogical strategy that incorporates recent educational research on how students learn. It is an exemplary tested innovation that has already demonstrated the ability to promote widespread adoption. During this project, increased use of POGIL is generated by the expansion of regional networks, supported by ongoing faculty development opportunities. The project coordinates and disseminates adaptations of POGIL materials for diverse settings and supports new POGIL developments in strategic areas.The project develops faculty expertise in targeted areas of the country, establishing and supporting regional connections via workshops and planning sessions to produce self-sustaining regional networks of POGIL practitioners with a national hub.Evaluation of student learning related to POGIL uses an in-depth methodology that builds on the project's successful history of comparative evaluation. To measure skills for lifelong learning, as well as more traditional content goals, new instruments are being developed that utilize new finely-tuned assessments of student learning.Basic research on undergraduate STEM teaching and learning is the engine that drives curricular reform. POGIL has always been a research-based educational innovation. The project is contributing to this research base by describing how conceptual change occurs in students' understanding of chemistry in a POGIL setting, providing insight not only into the nature of conceptual change but also into critical features for effective implementation that feed the project's development and dissemination efforts.
