Biochemistry: A Guided Inquiry uses the philosophy of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) to teach the fundamental concepts of biochemistry. In these activities, students will work in teams to explore models of biochemical information and develop essential ideas so they can more fully understand the discipline. In addition, they will intentionally practice process skills including teamwork, information processing, critical thinking, and communication. The topics in this book cover the major themes of biomolecules, metabolism, and the replication, transcription, and translation of genetic information.

Kendall Hunt is excited to partner with The POGIL Project to publish materials in a variety of disciplines that are designed for use in active learning, student-centered classrooms.
POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. Because POGIL is a student-centered instructional approach, in a typical POGIL classroom or laboratory, students work in small teams with the instructor acting as a facilitator. The student teams use specially designed activities that generally follow a learning cycle paradigm. These activities are designed to have three key characteristics:
- They are designed for use with self-managed teams that employ the instructor as a facilitator of learning rather than a source of information.
- They guide students through an exploration to construct understanding.
- They use discipline content to facilitate the development of important process skills, including higher-level thinking and the ability to learn and to apply knowledge in new contexts.
