Green Plastics Laboratory by Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL)

Exploring curriculum adoption of green and sustainable chemistry in undergraduate organic chemistry courses: results from a national survey in the United States

“…65 While incorporating POGIL is correlated with teaching green chemistry, POGIL workbooks have limited integration of green chemistry, 26 but some POGIL activities addressing green chemistry are available. 66 Thus, the connection between using POGIL and incorporating green chemistry should be explored further in future qualitative studies. Finally, the use of lecture as a technique may promote integration of green chemistry as lecture allows for more content to be covered in less time.…”

Experiences with an Inquiry-Based Ionic Liquid Module in an Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Laboratory

“…Though POGIL was designed to replace lectures in the classroom, Vishnumolakala et al suggest that POGIL can be modified in accordance with the institution’s learning environment. Reports on POGIL and modified POGIL in laboratory settings show that blending teaching methods depending on the requirements can improve learning outcomes. − Walker et al suggest that a cautious balance of student-centered activities and traditional-style instruction may be the best approach to teaching. Hybridizing different pedagogies with the intent of optimizing the beneficial elements of each is proven to facilitate student understanding. , A recent critical review concludes that a combination of inquiry-based and direct instruction is possibly the most effective way of teaching.…”
