    1. Integration of open educational resources in undergraduate chemistry teaching – a mapping tool and lecturers' considerations

      evaluation of open educational resources, questionnaires and interviews of chem lecturers, lecturers interviewed tended to select OER intuitively, mainly considering the reliability of information, pedagogical issues and the visual contribution, while paying less attention to collaborative learning and content sharing.

    1. Implementing Process-Oriented, Guided-Inquiry Learning for the First Time: Adaptations and Short-Term Impacts on Students’ Attitude and Performance

      A quasi-experimental design was implemented and data were collected through valid and reliable surveys. Results indicate little to no impact on most measures, although positive trends favoring POGIL students were observed.

    1. Implementing the process oriented guided-inquiry learning (POGIL) pedagogy of group scenario exercises in Fundamentals and Medical Surgical II nursing courses

      The Medical-Surgical Nursing II POGIL and comparison groups had no significant differences in standardized national exam or final course grades.

    1. Process oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL®) marginally effects student achievement measures but substantially increases the odds of passing a course

      Participants in the POGIL pedagogy had higher odds of passing a course and roughly performed 0.3 standard deviations higher on achievement measures than participants in standard lectures. In relative risk terms, POGIL reduced the risk of failing a course by 38%.

    1. A new approach to supplementary instruction narrows achievement and affect gaps for underrepresented minorities, first-generation students, and women

      Designing SI that specifically targets group practice, study skills, and emotional support holds promise for supporting equity and inclusion in the general chemistry classroom, raised course performance, course completion, and student mindset.

    1. Unpacking “Active Learning”: A Combination of Flipped Classroom and Collaboration Support Is More Effective but Collaboration Support Alone Is Not

      The results show the importance of flipped classrooms in addition to collaborative support in active learning, emphasis on the importance of supporting educators in learning these new methods and how student attitudes relate to learning outcomes

    1. Positive Impacts Using POGIL in Organic Chemistry

      Extent of effect of POGIL by comparing ACS percentile rankings and grade point averages to students using traditional teaching methods shows POGIL students showed greater grasp of content knowledge evidenced by higher final exam scores
