I have been working feverishly on my literature review and I just wanted to share about it. I am exploring a student-centered pedagogy called POGIL (process-oriented guided learning inquiry). It is all about group collaboration, guided inquiry, and utilizes the learning cycle. The instructor merely serves as a facillitator only stepping in when the student thought process starts to go awry. Its really cool that it started in chemistry classes (at Franklin and Marshall College) and now it is making its way into other content areas such as business and math. Some predict it may eventually stretch into the humanities. Its a really interesting method which has shown impressive results in learning.
In many of the journal articles that I am reading from the Journal of Education site our class's text by Weimer!
