This project implements the principles of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in order to improve student learning in the physical chemistry laboratory (PCL) course. Tested POGIL principles are being used to develop inquiry-based physical chemistry experiments that emphasize macroscopic and molecular models of chemical phenomena. The intellectual merit of the POGIL-PCL project lies in its four objectives: (1) writing POGIL physical chemistry experiments each of which has completed a screen-review-implementation-revise cycle and includes an instructor's user guide; (2) promoting the professional development of physical chemistry instructors with workshops focused on writing materials and implementation and facilitation strategies for POGIL physical chemistry experiments; (3) creating a community of physical chemistry instructors who write, review, and use these experiments and who can train additional instructors after the project is complete; and (4) developing different types of workshops in order to assess the ease with which the new field-tested methods are adopted. Building a vibrant, growing community of instructors who collaborate on generating and using POGIL-PCL experiments is the key to the success of the project. The project's broader impact is derived from the collaboration of faculty members from research universities, small PUIs, HBCUs, and others who have committed to form the nucleus of this community. The POGIL-PCL project is making available a wide range of physical chemistry experiments with training materials and practitioner support so that instructors may assess their needs and resources and choose from a variety of turn-key experiments that best enhance their students' learning.

本项目在物理化学实验室(PCL)课程中实施面向过程的指导性研究性学习(POGIL)原则，以提高学生的学习能力。经过测试的POGIL原则正被用于开发基于探究的物理化学实验，这些实验强调化学现象的宏观和分子模型。POGIL-PCL项目的智力价值在于它的四个目标：(1)编写POGIL物理化学实验，每个实验都完成了一个筛选-审查-实施-修改周期，并包括一份教师使用指南；(2)促进物理化学教师的专业发展，通过研讨会专注于编写POGIL物理化学实验的材料和实施与促进策略；(3)创建一个撰写、审查和使用这些实验的物理化学教师社区，他们可以在项目完成后培训更多的教师；以及(4)开发不同类型的讲习班，以评估采用新的实地测试方法的难易程度。建立一个充满活力的、不断增长的教师社区，他们在生成和使用POGIL-PCL实验方面进行合作是该项目成功的关键。该项目的广泛影响来自研究型大学、小型PUI、HBCU和其他致力于形成这个社区核心的教职员工的合作。POGIL-PCL项目正在提供广泛的物理化学实验，并提供培训材料和实践者支持，以便教师可以评估他们的需求和资源，并从各种最能促进学生学习的交钥匙实验中进行选择。
