Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in Computer Science

教师们正在开发面向过程的指导性探究学习材料（POGIL）来教授计算机科学主题：软件工程和数据结构与算法。POGIL基于学习的生物学，已经发展和验证了超过15年。学习者团队通过脚本化的探究活动来帮助他们构建自己的知识。指导员充当促进者，而不是讲师。正在为软件工程主题开发十项学生活动，包括项目管理和统一建模语言。正在开发十项活动来支持数据结构和算法主题，包括基本数据结构、搜索和排序。材料包括引导者说明、活动描述和补充信息。四名合作者正在开发和评估各种机构的材料，包括精选文理学院、一所公立大学和一所理工学院。该项目利用并扩展了基于查询的成功方法到一个新的主题，并探索了电脑平板电脑和基于网络的工具的使用，这些工具可以使POGIL运动总体上受益。第三年的教师研讨会旨在提高计算机科学教育界的认识和采用。

Faculty are developing Process-Oriented Guided-Inquiry Learning materials (POGIL) to teach computer science topics: software engineering and data structures & algorithms. POGIL is based on the biology of learning and has been developed and validated for over fifteen years. Teams of learners work on scripted inquiry activities to help them construct their own knowledge. The instructor serves as facilitator, not lecturer. Ten student activities are being developed for software engineering topics including project management and the Unified Modeling Language. Ten activities are being developed to support data structures & algorithms topics including basic data structures, searching and sorting. Materials include facilitator instructions, activity descriptions and supplemental information.Four collaborators are developing and assessing materials at a variety of institutions including selective liberal arts colleges, a public university and an institute of technology. The project leverages and extends the successful inquiry-based approach to a new subject and explores the use of computer tablets and web-based tools that could benefit the POGIL movement in general. Faculty workshops during the third year are designed to raise awareness and adoption in the computer science education community.
