R.; Reed, Laura K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP) engages students in a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). To better understand the student attributes that support success in this CURE, we asked students about their attitudes using previously published scales that measure epistemic beliefs about work and science, interest in science,…

Liu, Jinjie; Cook, Ron; Danhof, Linda; Lopatto, David; Stoltzfus, Jon R.; Benning, Christoph – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
A complex research project was translated into a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE), which was implemented in sections of an introductory Cell and Molecular Biology laboratory course. The research laboratory generated an engineered plant line producing a growth-inhibiting, lipid-derived plant hormone and mutagenized this line.…

Hamel, Jennifer A.; ter Hofstede, Hannah M.; Gauthier, Adrienne; Lopatto, David; Merton, Prudence; Vandermast, David – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2021
Few studies have investigated the effects of combining undergraduate research with study abroad. The authors present student self-reported learning gains from two undergraduate courses that embed research within study abroad courses. Students in one course worked in small groups on original research projects; students in the second course…

Pagano, Justin K.; Jaworski, Leslie; Lopatto, David; Waterman, Rory – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A research-based inorganic chemistry laboratory course is described. Using the defined protocol of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE), students undertake a self-designed research project to identify new catalysts for the dehydrogenation of ammonia borane. Students select ligands and metals, prepare and characterize catalysts…

Lloyd, Steven A.; Shanks, Ryan A.; Lopatto, David – Teaching of Psychology, 2019
Undergraduate research (UR) is a high-impact practice associated with many positive student outcomes. However, extending UR opportunities to all students is not practical for all psychology programs. Classroom-based UR experiences (CUREs) provide a scalable solution to this problem, but there is a paucity of empirically validated, authentic CUREs…

Nerio, Ron; Webber, Althea; MacLachlan, Effie; Lopatto, David; Caplan, Avrom J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
The CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) provides a yearlong faculty-mentored research experience to associate's degree students. The program takes place at all 10 associate's degree-granting colleges within the City University of New York system. We report on a mixed-methods study of 500 students who participated in the program during its…

Lopatto, David – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2017
Given that science and science education are undergoing a climate change, the author suggests a re-envisioning of undergraduate research assessment. He argues that continuation of research into the processes and benefits of undergraduate research opportunities for undergraduates will need to decrease focus on student dispositions and increase…

Staub, Nancy L.; Poxleitner, Marianne; Braley, Amanda; Smith-Flores, Helen; Pribbenow, Christine M.; Jaworski, Leslie; Lopatto, David; Anders, Kirk R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
Authentic research experiences are valuable components of effective undergraduate education. Research experiences during the first years of college are especially critical to increase persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. The Science Education Alliance Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science…
