The POGIL Project with Rick Moog
POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. It is a student-centered, group-learning instructional strategy and philosophy developed through research on how students learn best. Today we learn all about POGIL from Rick Moog, Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Franklin & Marshall College. He is the Executive Director of The POGIL Project and has implemented POGIL learning environments in his courses since 1994.
Today's Guest:
Rick Moog
Today’s interview is part of a Podcast exchange. I reached out to the production team for the POGIL podcast. Their podcast got started around the same time mine did, and I thought this would be a fun interview exchange. They spoke with me about the Physics Alive podcast and what I’m doing with it, and now today I’m speaking with a long-standing member and founder of the POGIL community, Rick Moog. He’s had an instrumental role in its development and is currently the Executive Director of the POGIL project.
