摘要:Two significant problems faced by universities are to ensure sustainabilityand to produce quality graduates. Four aspects of these problems are toimprove engagement, to foster interaction, develop required skills and toeffectively gauge the level of attention and comprehension within lecturesand large tutorials. Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) is atechnique used to teach in large lectures and tutorials. It invokes interaction,team building, learning and interest through highly structured group work.This paper describes a new approach to teaching Information Technology(IT) using POGIL. Two IT subjects were chosen for the implementation of thePOGIL technique to explore its potential to resolve the aforementionedissues. Preliminary evidence from perspectives of the institution, students andlecturer suggest that POGIL is better able to maximise engagement, fosterinteraction and effectively gauge the level of attention and comprehension inteaching process-oriented IT concepts than a traditional didactic approach.
