Abstract

The study developed POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) lesson plans in Physics to enhance junior high school students' 21st-century skills (i.e., problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability). The ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) model influenced the design and validation of the POGIL lesson. The study employed a descriptive developmental design, incorporating a pretest and posttest approach through self-assessment questionnaires to evaluate the 21st-century skills of 157 conveniently sampled junior high school students. The results revealed that the developed POGIL lesson plans were highly acceptable as rated by purposively selected four experts and four teachers. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean results of the pretest and posttest, indicative of the capability of the developed POGIL lesson plans to enhance 21st-
century skills. Utilization of POGIL lesson plans in physics and other subject areas is highly recommended.
