This Type 2 project is expanding the use of the POGIL (Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) approach in psychology to eight sites within the Touro College system, a diverse multi-campus institution. Instructional materials for experimental psychology labs based on the POGIL approach (developed with support from a CCLI Phase 1 grant) are also being expanded. The pedagogical approach now includes a version of a student preceptor model developed in a CCLI Phase 1 grant to St. Olaf College. Early results indicate that combining POGIL with student preceptors boosts student learning. In order to disseminate this work, workshops are being conducted on Touro College campuses and are planned for nearby colleges in order to reach faculty from other institutions in the tri-state (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) area - especially those with underserved populations. The workshops provide hands-on experience with the POGIL materials. Feedback from faculty and students at other institutions is serving to further refine and revise the new curricular materials. Intellectual Merit: In addition to testing and refining the extant POGIL instructional materials and widening the community of users to additional campuses, the current project is also developing a performance assessment instrument in order to test the impact of the new instructional materials on students' abilities to apply principles in experimental psychology laboratories. Broader Impact: The standardized set of POGIL instructional materials are being disseminated for use at other institutions, first locally within the Touro College system, then in the New York tri-state area, and eventually nationally. They have the potential to be used by many students at other colleges. The POGIL approach has proven to be particularly effective for students from underrepresented groups.

这个类型2的项目将POGIL（面向过程的引导探究学习）方法在心理学中的应用扩展到Touro学院系统内的八个站点，这是一个多元化的多校区机构。基于POGIL方法（在CCLI第一阶段拨款的支持下开发）的实验心理学实验室的教学材料也在扩大。教学方法现在包括一个学生导师模型的版本，该模型是在CCLI第一阶段资助St. Olaf学院开发的。早期的结果表明，将POGIL与学生导师相结合可以促进学生的学习。为了传播这项工作，正在Touro学院校园举办讲习班，并计划在附近的学院举办讲习班，以便接触到三州（纽约、新泽西、康涅狄格）地区其他机构的教员，特别是那些得不到充分服务的人。讲习班提供了使用POGIL材料的实践经验。来自其他机构的教师和学生的反馈有助于进一步完善和修订新的课程材料。智力价值：除了测试和完善现有的POGIL教学材料，并将用户群体扩大到更多的校园外，目前的项目还在开发一种绩效评估工具，以测试新教学材料对学生在实验心理学实验室中应用原理的能力的影响。更广泛的影响：标准化的POGIL教学材料正在传播给其他机构使用，首先在当地的Touro学院系统内，然后在纽约三州地区，最终在全国范围内。它们有可能被其他大学的许多学生使用。事实证明，POGIL方法对来自代表性不足群体的学生特别有效。
