Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs. Without this information, it is impossible to assess whether participation…

Pekkola, Samuli – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2023
Design science research (DSR) is an appropriate method for postgraduate-level (MSc) thesis work, where the students need to combine and apply theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills to solve practical problems. Students face considerable challenges, however, when applying DSR in timeboxed situations with limited competences. In this paper, I…

In Pursuit of Mutual Benefits in School-Based Citizen Science: Who Wins What in a Win-Win Situation?
Atias, Osnat; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet; Kali, Yael; Shavit, Ayelet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
In a typical citizen science scenario different groups of people take on various roles in a research process that is often coupled with educational, social or personal objectives. A widely accepted viewpoint asserts that such an endeavor should bring benefits to all involved parties and that no participating individuals should act "in…

Radhika S. Gosavi; Elizabeth Y. Toomarian – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
As the field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) continues to grow, MBE researchers have begun expanding the scope of their investigations and approaches. One such development is the establishment of collaborative partnership with young learners, both to inform research practices and to develop student-researchers. We explore how middle school…

Watts-Taffe, Susan; Vaughn, Lisa M.; Jacquez, Farrah – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2022
This article describes how disciplinary literacy practices were enacted among youth within the context of Youth Built Change, a science based program incorporating principles of Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR). Highlighting two YPAR projects, one conducted in a predominantly Black and Latino/a suburban school and one conducted in a…

Deborah Cockerham; Tandra Tyler-Wood; Lin Lin – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Inquiry can be an effective educational strategy for building critical thinking and student agency, but it is also a catalyst for scientific research. This study built upon a foundation of inquiry as 25 adolescents participated in a nine-week guided inquiry curriculum focused on smartphones and digital responsibility. As participants developed…

Bertram, Anna; Tomas, Carmen – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Engaging students actively in assessment, using a range of formative activities, consistently over sustained periods is a common recommendation in the assessment for learning literature. Despite this, practice still lags behind. Our case study aims to bridge the widening gap between theory and practice by illustrating the application of recent…

Wagge, Jordan R.; Hurst, Michelle A.; Brandt, Mark J.; Lazarevic, Ljiljana B.; Legate, Nicole; Grahe, Jon E. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2023
Psychology majors typically conduct at least one research project during their undergraduate studies, yet these projects rarely make a scientific contribution beyond the classroom. In this study, we explored one potential reason for this--that student projects may not be aligned with best practices in the field. In other words, we wondered if…

Pizzolato, Larissa A. V.; Tsuji, Leonard J. S. – School Science and Mathematics, 2022
Citizen science, or the public participation in scientific research, is a mechanism for student engagement, and co-creation of knowledge in the scientific research process. Through participation in citizen science initiatives within school-based learning environments, students can gain field experience, direct project scope, and contribute to…

Nicole T. Appel; Ammar Tanveer; Sara Brownell; Joseph N. Blattman – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) offer students opportunities to engage in critical thinking and problem solving. However, quantitating the impact of incorporating research into undergraduate courses on student learning and performance has been difficult since most CUREs lack a comparable traditional course as a control. To…
