POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning.
POGIL originated in college chemistry departments in 1994; it is now being used in many high schools and colleges in a variety of subject areas around the country.
POGIL uses guided inquiry – a version of the Socratic method in which students use carefully designed materials that guide them to construct new knowledge.
POGIL is a student-centered strategy; students work in small groups with individual roles to ensure that all students are fully engaged in the learning process.
POGIL activities focus on core concepts and encourage a deep understanding of the course material while developing higher-order thinking skills.
POGIL develops process skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communication through collaboration and reflection, making students more competitive in a global market.
