Teaching Strategies

Giz demoed Sakai

• Discussed the move to Sakai
• Faculty discussed moving to Sakai at the last faculty meeting

Erik discussed POGIL

• Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning Guided Inquiry is guided inquiry and Constructivism (context is everything) Think: student created knowledge
• POGIL classrooms look like: Group based (3-4 people) students take on roles Presenter, note taker, leader, etc. (six roles, sometimes students take multiple roles) Class time primarily activity based with quizzes.
• Three stages of learning, explore, formulate theory, apply critical thinking, tie in to blooms taxonomy
• Pedagogical theory: student created knowledge, meta-literacy skills, group dynamics
• Some criticisms: cover less content, not expert focused
• Positive comments: student ownership, context/organization to knowledge acquisitions
