Abstract
A student -centred approach based on principles of Process -Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) was trialled with a group of students in an introductory chemistry unit for one semester. Traditional d idactic lectures were used for one group of students (PEC140) and the student -centred approach implemented for a second group (TPEC140). Other learning activities, assessments and additional learning materials were the same for both groups. Unit survey data indicated a positive experience for students who participated in the student -centred approach, but also identified limitations. No significant difference in levels of achievement or engagement was observed between the two groups.
