The current study investigated the relationship between research self-efficacy, perceived research training environment and research productivity among 174 doctoral students enrolled in counselling programmes in universities across the United States. Results indicated that students' research self-efficacy was positively correlated with their…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) benefit student learning by providing accessible authentic research opportunities. However, the uniqueness of each disciple and variation in instructors' perception of CUREs make it challenging to reach a consensus on how to effectively assess students' research abilities in a CURE…

Community colleges are institutions that provide access to higher education to anyone with a high school diploma or GED (Kim & Dolan, 2015). The student body is highly diverse and may not be prepared for academic coursework (Cohen et al., 2014). These challenges may be supplemented through embedding services directly into college courses. The…

Prospective physics teachers must have research skills because they will later utilize and transfer these skills throughout their teaching careers. However, research shows that students' research skills, including in Indonesia, are still low. In addition to equipping students with theoretical research knowledge, an emphasis is needed on the…

The training of researchers in the development of educational competencies is the central issue of this study. The process for research training is described. Training researchers in the development of educational competences is advocated and a profile of research skills developed. Training for research is different from training for the teaching…

Educational research plays a crucial role in the advancement of knowledge in the teaching profession. In fact, raising the quality standards in education necessitates teachers' engagement in different levels and dimensions of research. To this end, improving teachers' research literacy is an essential first step, which also entails assessing the…

Research development, also known in Canada as research facilitation, is a strategic approach used by research institutions globally to enhance research capacity and competitiveness. However, there is an absence of literature describing how the function is structured and implemented in the Canadian context. This descriptive study contributes some…

The medical field is facing a physician-scientist shortage, threatening future medical research and development. Medical institutions can contribute to developing physician-scientists by stimulating students' involvement in research. In this study, a medical undergraduate teaching module to develop research skills and encourage interest in…

The purpose of this research is to solve the problem of producing research (academic journals, books, book chapters) based on the curriculum. In this sense, the methodology called NODE PROJECTS has been developed. Its objective is to promote and manage collaborative scientific research based on the needs of the environment at a national and…

In a typical undergraduate biology curriculum, students do not dive into research until they first wade through large amounts of content. Biology courses in the first few years of the college curriculum tend to be lecture-based and exam-based courses. As a result, science students are mainly exposed to content knowledge--not the skills scientists…

Studies show undergraduate students typically view the idea of research negatively, with students reporting feelings of anxiety, difficulty, detachment, and reduced perceptions of relevancy to their own life. Course-based undergraduate experiences (CUREs), where students have an opportunity to engage in authentic research experiences, can reach…

This paper documents a case study examining collaborative transdisciplinary (TD) and interdisciplinary (ID) graduate programmes at the University of British Columbia (a large, public, research-intensive university in Canada) -- serving as a model for other universities globally. TD and ID programmes in higher education can ultimately create a new…

Formative research generates different perceptions in undergraduate students, and in order to know more about them, 80 were surveyed, and 12 Communication Science students were interviewed at a national university in Lima (Peru). The results evidence that they conceive of it as: training to conduct scientific research, curricular or…

The essence of university courses lies in their scientific rigor, while the enjoyment of learning serves as a motivation. In this regard, we have developed a comprehensive experiment project by incorporating dithienylethene-based photochromic units into sensitizers for renewable energy, specifically dye-sensitized solar cells, through organic…

This article reports results of a research study at a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on psychological research with clear applications to the real world. Two cohorts of undergraduates engaged in rigorous research projects with implications for real-world problems such as driving, homeland…
