Thompson, Jennifer Jo; Conaway, Evan; Dolan, Erin L. – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2016
Recent calls for reform in undergraduate biology education have emphasized integrating research experiences into the learning experiences of all undergraduates. Contemporary science research increasingly demands collaboration across disciplines and institutions to investigate complex research questions, providing new contexts and models for…

Corwin, Lisa A.; Runyon, Christopher; Robinson, Aspen; Dolan, Erin L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2015
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly being offered as scalable ways to involve undergraduates in research. Yet few if any design features that make CUREs effective have been identified. We developed a 17-item survey instrument, the Laboratory Course Assessment Survey (LCAS), that measures students' perceptions…

Hanauer, David I.; Dolan, Erin L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
A growing body of research documents the positive outcomes of research experiences for undergraduates, including increased persistence in science. Study of undergraduate lab learning experiences has demonstrated that the design of the experience influences the extent to which students report ownership of the project and that project ownership is…
