Engineering - Materials Science (57)This project is developing and testing new classroom materials for the Introduction to Materials course within the engineering curriculum that utilizes an active learning, team-based approach. These materials are based upon a pedagogical approach developed for chemistry under an NSF CCLI National Dissemination grant (DUE-0231120). This pedagogy has been termed Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) and is based upon the learning cycle model. Rather than sitting in traditional lectures, students work in teams to complete worksheets that guide them through the process of learning. In this way students are actively engaged in processing the information and have the opportunity to utilize and develop important skills such as teamwork, communication, and critical thinking. POGIL worksheets are being developed which contain the following components: 1) A model or data that illustrate a particular concept; 2) Critical thinking questions that guide the students to process the model or data and lead them to an understanding of the concept; 3) Exercises and problems that allow them to practice using the concept. Assessment is being conducted, specifically focused on the differential impact of guided inquiry on women and minorities. The materials are being disseminated for use at other institutions through the POGIL website (www.pogil.org) and one day workshops.

工程-材料科学(57)这个项目正在为工程课程中的材料导论课程开发和测试新的课堂材料，采用主动学习、基于团队的方法。这些材料是基于美国国家科学基金会CCLI全国传播基金(DUE-0231120)下为化学开发的教学方法。这种教学法被称为面向过程的指导性探究学习(POGIL)，它是基于学习周期模型的。学生们不是坐在传统的讲课上，而是团队合作，完成工作表，指导他们完成学习过程。通过这种方式，学生积极参与信息处理，并有机会利用和发展重要的技能，如团队合作、沟通和批判性思维。正在开发POGIL工作表，其中包含以下组成部分：1)说明特定概念的模型或数据；2)指导学生处理模型或数据并引导他们理解概念的批判性思维问题；3)允许他们练习使用概念的练习和问题。正在进行评估，特别侧重于指导性调查对妇女和少数群体的不同影响。正在通过POGIL网站(www.pogil.org)和一天讲习班散发这些材料，供其他机构使用。
