ANA-POGIL Activities

A group of analytical faculty members who have been involved in curriculum development and chemical education research have begun developing instructional materials for analytical chemistry based on the well-established POGIL model (www.pogil.org). Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is an active learning pedagogy in which groups of students engage in worksheet activities that are based upon the learning cycle. By closely scrutinizing data, graphs or similar models and answering guiding questions, students are led to generate their own conclusions and form their own conceptual understanding of chemical principles.

Linked in the red box above are the Guided Inquiry activities that have been written by analytical chemists to use in their own courses. They fall into two categories - those that have undergone a peer review process by members of the ANA-POGIL analytical chemistry consortium, and those that are simply posted for immediate use.

These activities are posted here for use by all. Feel free to download them, read them, use them or be inspired by them. Please acknowledge the authors and the ANA-POGIL website if you use these materials in your classroom.

It is sincerely hoped that you will take a moment to submit a review on any activity that you use in any way (Choose the activity from one of the links above, then click "Submit a review for this activity"). The authors are seeking feedback to facilitate effective revisions. You will be able to choose to make your review available for all to see or for just the author to view. Additionally, you may choose to remain anonymous or identify yourself as the reviewer.
