The aim of this study was focused on identifying high school students’ views regarding Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). In this study, a case study design was employed as the research method and the sample of this study was comprised of 11th-grade students in a chemistry class. The study was conducted during 2014-2015 spring semester. Purposeful sampling was used to identify the students. At the end of the implementation with POGIL, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 students to explore their views about POGIL. All of the interviews were audiotape recorded and transcribed. Summarizing content analysis was conducted to analyse the data. The results showed that all students improved positive attitudes towards POGIL. Also, after the data analysis, students’ views about POGIL were grouped into four main categories. The categories were as in the following: POGIL and learning process, the views about effects of POGIL, the views about POGIL structure and the negative views about POGIL implementation.
