Nuclear Atom ActivityNuclear Atom ActivityManageractively participates; keeps the group on task; distributes work and responsibilities; resolves disputes; assures all members participate and understand
Spokespersonactively participates; presents reports and discussion to class
Recorderactively participates; keeps a record of the assignment and what the group has done
Strategy Analystactively participates; identifies strategies and methods for solving problems and questions; identifies what the group is doing well and in what areas the group needs additional help
What is POGIL?What is POGIL?
• Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning
• Developed by college professors
• Helps students understand content and process skills
• Promotes critical thinking and teamwork
• Based on research
• Teacher acts as facilitator instead of as an information source
POGIL ActivitiesPOGIL Activities
• Focuses on 1-3 concepts per activity
• Model for concepts (text, equation, diagram, table, graph, figure, etc…)
• Key Questions used to guide students to identifying, applying, and/or analyzing key concepts
• Exercises or Problems to practice concepts
• Process Skills developed throughout activity
Learning CycleLearning Cycle(Karplus, Piaget)
E I A inductive deductive
Exploration Concept Invention Application (Term Introduction)
•Data Acquisition
•What did you do?
• Is there any pattern in the data?
•What did you find?
•What does it mean?
•Apply developed concepts
•Test hypotheses
•Higher level of thinking

Implementing POGILImplementing POGIL• Groups (3-4 students) can be generated several ways:
- randomly- heterogeneous groupings based on grades 1) high, low, and middle 2) high and middle; middle and low
• Group members rotate through group roles over a period of time
• I keep groups together (unless major problem) for a unit
• I give incentives to make sure all group members understand concepts – bonus point on quizzes all students in a group earn a B average or higher
POGIL and ClassesPOGIL and Classes
