Direct linkFriesen, Rebecca; Cimetta, Adriana – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Increased sustainable access to undergraduate research opportunities, particularly for historically underrepresented populations, involves transforming departmental and institutional cultures, which is time-consuming and expensive. Competing university interests and tightening budgets necessitate finding effective and affordable ways to implement…

Schmid, Kelly M.; Wiles, Jason R. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Mentorship plays an important role in the experiences of undergraduate researchers, and students may interact with multiple potential mentors in laboratory settings. Using qualitative methods, we explored the relationships between undergraduate students engaged in research and their mentors in faculty-led laboratories, with particular attention to…

Anne Fernando; Katharine Gurski; Timmy Ma – PRIMUS, 2024
We joined an initiative to engage faculty and undergraduate students in research by scheduling regular early college-level mathematics research presentations with pre- and post-lecture exercises. While our program featured six talks that were predominantly in the mathematical biosciences, the concept of creating themed topics for presentations can…

Lisa DaVia Rubenstein; Kelsey A. Woodruff; April M. Taylor; James B. Olesen; Philip J. Smaldino; Eric M. Rubenstein – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2024
Primarily undergraduate institutions (PUI) often struggle to provide authentic research opportunities that culminate in peer-reviewed publications due to "recipe-driven" lab courses and the comprehensive body of work necessary for traditional scientific publication. However, the advent of short-form, single-figure…

Nikki T. Donegan; Jocelyn M. Zachariah; Jeffrey T. Olimpo – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been increasingly incorporated into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) curricula, leading to greater inclusion of students in real-world STEM practices. Implicit within the definition of CUREs is the notion that generated research findings will have relevancy to one…

DeChenne-Peters, S. E.; Scheuermann, N. L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) integrate an authentic research experience for students into a laboratory course. CUREs provide many of the same benefits to students as individual faculty-mentored research experiences. However, faculty experiences in teaching CUREs are not as well understood. There are no studies that…

Capaldi, Mindy; Bugajski, Kristi; Goebbert, Bonnie Dahlke; Watters, Michael; Slattery, Michelle – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Student retention is important to any university, especially keeping commuter students who are traditionally less anchored in campus life. Even more at risk, given the leaky STEM pipeline, are STEM commuter students. In 2016, Valparaiso University launched the Establishing Practices Integrating Commuter Students (EPIC) program, centered around…

Sperano, Isabelle; Shaw, Ross; Andruchow, Robert; Cobzas, Dana; Efird, Cory; Brookwell, Brian; Deng, William – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2020
In a three-year, practice-based, creative research project, the team designed a video game for undergraduate biology students that aimed to find the right balance between educational content and entertainment. The project involved 7 faculty members and 14 undergraduate students from biological science, design, computer science, and music. This…

Gartner, Tracy B.; Thomas, Carolyn L.; Geedey, Kevin; Bjorgo-Thorne, Kim; Simmons, Jeffrey A.; Shea, Kathleen L.; Dosch, Jerald J.; Zimmermann, Craig R. – American Biology Teacher, 2020
Increasingly, undergraduate institutions are incorporating original research into the curriculum as a matter of best practice. However, while the practice of science has grown more collaborative, undergraduate research has remained largely confined to single-institution studies. Incorporating long-term, distributed research projects into the…

O'Connell, Marcia L.; Morrison, Janet A. – Innovative Higher Education, 2018
At many primarily undergraduate institutions, biology faculty members mentor student research collaborators. If publication is required for tenure and promotion, this research is expected to result in periodic publications; and publication rates are a common metric used to assess faculty productivity. However, we have uncovered a highly…

Langley, William – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
An individual faculty can mentor students doing undergraduate research. Such an endeavor represents a substantial commitment of time and effort on the part of the faculty who would like to mentor a substantial number of students, want to use time and materials as efficiently as possible, and want the students and the program to receive…

Spell, Rachelle M.; Guinan, Judith A.; Miller, Kristen R.; Beck, Christopher W. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
Incorporating authentic research experiences in introductory biology laboratory classes would greatly expand the number of students exposed to the excitement of discovery and the rigor of the scientific process. However, the essential components of an authentic research experience and the barriers to their implementation in laboratory classes are…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
In their 2012 report, the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology advocated "replacing standard science laboratory courses with discovery-based research courses"--a challenging proposition that presents practical and pedagogical difficulties. In this paper, we describe our collective experiences working with the…

Wolkow, Thomas D.; Durrenberger, Lisa T.; Maynard, Michael A.; Harrall, Kylie K.; Hines, Lisa M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
Early research experiences must be made available to all undergraduate students, including those at 2-yr institutions who account for nearly half of America's college students. We report on barriers unique to 2-yr institutions that preclude the success of an early course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). Using a randomized study…
