Abstract
Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is an approach to teaching and learning in which students work in teams to practice important professional skills and develop their own understanding of key concepts. Numerous studies have found that POGIL increase student motivation and learning. POGIL and related approaches can be a significant change for many instructors, so The POGIL Project has developed numerous workshops to help faculty understand POGIL principles and practices, and learn to create activities and facilitate student learning. However, these workshops were developed by and for STEM faculty in the US. In the last decade, POGIL workshops increasingly target other disciplines, cultures, and countries. This has highlighted limitations and opportunities to improve the workshops. This paper briefly describes POGIL, the author’s experiences adapting POGIL workshops and materials for faculty in diverse contexts, and lessons learned that could help to adapt other materials.
