Collaborative Research: The POGIL Project

化学（12）这是一个合作项目，涉及3个提案。 PI0618746，领导富兰克林和马歇尔学院穆格0618758南佛罗里达刘易斯大学0618800美国天主教大学邦斯本项目通过在全国范围内传播、实施、改进、评估和研究，支持POGIL教育系统的发展。POGIL是一种经过全国测试和验证的教学策略，结合了最近关于学生如何学习的教育研究。这是一个经过测试的创新典范，已经证明有能力促进广泛采用。在这个项目中，POGIL的使用增加是由区域网络的扩展产生的，并得到持续的教师发展机会的支持。该项目协调和传播适应不同环境的POGIL材料，并支持战略领域的POGIL新发展。该项目在该国的目标地区发展教师专业知识，通过讲习班和规划会议建立和支持区域联系，以建立具有国家中心的POGIL从业人员自我维持的区域网络。深入的方法，建立在该项目的成功历史的比较评价。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，利用新的微调评估学生的学习。本科STEM教学和学习的基础研究是推动课程改革的引擎。POGIL一直是以研究为基础的教育创新。该项目通过描述学生在POGIL环境中对化学的理解如何发生概念变化来促进这一研究基础，不仅深入了解概念变化的性质，而且还深入了解有效实施的关键特征，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.
