Broader Implementation of a New Process-Oriented Guided-Inquiry-Learning (POGIL) Curriculum for Experimental Psychology Labs at an Urban College & Dissemination to Nearby Colle

这一第二类项目正在将心理学中的POGIL(面向过程的指导性探究学习)方法的使用扩展到图罗学院系统内的八个地点，图罗学院系统是一个多元化的多校区机构。基于POGIL方法的实验心理学实验室的教学材料(在CCLI第一阶段赠款的支持下开发)也在扩大。教学方法现在包括CCLI向圣奥拉夫学院提供的第一阶段赠款中开发的学生教师模型的一个版本。早期结果表明，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，正在图罗学院校园举办讲习班，并计划在附近的大学举办讲习班，以便接触到来自三州(纽约、新泽西、康涅狄格)地区其他机构的教职员工--特别是那些人口服务不足的人。这些研讨会提供了POGIL材料的实践经验。来自其他机构教职员工和学生的反馈意见有助于进一步完善和修订新的课程材料。智力优势：除了测试和完善现有的POGIL教材，并将用户社区扩大到更多的校园外，目前的项目还在开发一种表现评估工具，以测试新教材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：POGIL的标准化教材正在传播，以供其他机构使用，首先在图罗学院系统内，然后在纽约三州地区，最后在全国范围内。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。

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.
