We implemented NSF-funded computerized Experimental Psychology Laboratories at Touro College and incorporated process-oriented guided-inquiry learning (POGIL). We designed POGIL modules for the labs and conducted workshops for faculty on the implementation of the guided-inquiry approach, including learning teams. Data were collected from students who took experimental psychology with and without using POGIL, to assess the impact of the curriculum materials. Achievement was measured with (a) selected items from the Major Field Achievement Tests (MFAT) and (b) our own assessment instrument. Results indicated that students using the POGIL materials performed significantly better on both achievement tests than students not using them. This is the first demonstration that POGIL led to higher achievement than non-POGIL instruction for experimental psychology. These results are consistent with previous POGIL findings in the field of chemistry.

面向过程的引导式探究学习 (POGIL) 的实验心理学实验室课程

我们在图罗学院实施了 NSF 资助的计算机化实验心理学实验室，并结合了面向过程的引导式探究学习 (POGIL)。我们为实验室设计了 POGIL 模块，并为教师举办了关于实施引导式探究方法的研讨会，包括学习团队。从使用和不使用 POGIL 进行实验心理学的学生那里收集数据，以评估课程材料的影响。成就是通过 (a) 从主要实地成就测试 (MFAT) 和 (b) 我们自己的评估工具中选择的项目来衡量的。结果表明，使用 POGIL 材料的学生在两项成绩测试中的表现明显优于不使用它们的学生。这是第一次证明 POGIL 比非 POGIL 实验心理学教学取得了更高的成就。这些结果与之前 POGIL 在化学领域的发现一致。
