For many college students, joining a research group is a critical step toward developing strong mentor-mentee relationships that help shape their science identities and research self-efficacy. ReBUILDetroit, a program that seeks to diversify the biomedical research workforce, uses a scaffolded process to help its scholars transition into research.…

Sharma, Arun K.; Hernandez, Michelle; Phuong, Vinh – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2019
Course-based undergraduate research (CURE) is an educational paradigm to engage students in authentic research projects as part of their classroom experience. We present a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) for first-year students to get acquainted with the research process and apply the skills of scientific computing to…

de Carvalho, Vinícius; Martins, Victor Hugo; Fabris, Luís Victor Muller; Muller, Marcia; Fabris, José Luís – Physics Education, 2019
This work shows the production steps of two optical fibre sensing setups which were specially designed for the activities of the 2018 Photonics Lab Open Day realized at the Federal University of Technology-Paraná in Brazil as a celebration of the first International Day of Light (16 May). The systems are based on the sensing properties of fibre…

Barstow, Brendan; Fazio, Lisa; Schunn, Christian; Ashley, Kevin – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Arguing for the need for a scientific research study (i.e. writing an introduction to a research paper) poses significant challenges for students. When faced with these challenges, students often generate overly safe replications (i.e. fail to find and include opposition to their hypothesis) or in contrast include no strong support for their…

Yildirim, Sefa; Hasiloglu, Mehmet Akif – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
In this study, it was aimed to identify the scientific research-related anxiety levels of the undergraduate students studying in the department of faculty of science and letters and faculty of education to analyse these anxiety levels in terms of various variables (students' gender, using web based information sources, going to the library,…

Stone-Roy, Leslie M. – HAPS Educator, 2018
Undergraduate research experiences are valuable, yet can be difficult for students to obtain. Working on open-ended research questions enables students to develop problem-solving skills, increase communication skills, enhance critical thinking, and help define career goals. Unfortunately, some students are unable to find positions in research…

Majetic, Cassie; Pellegrino, Catherine – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2018
News media reports of scientific discoveries are often oversimplified, lacking nuance and context. As a result, citizens need both science literacy and information literacy skills to both decode the science content in a media report and track down the original scientific literature that prompted the media report. This article evaluates the…

Richard A. R. Blackburn, – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Students were asked to each create an infographic on the basis of one of their host department's research articles as a new exercise within the "science communication" training program of the University of Leicester's undergraduate chemistry degree. The use of local articles helped to connect students to the research of their lecturers,…

Byars-Winston, Angela; Leverett, Patrice; Benbow, Ross J.; Pfund, Christine; Thayer-Hart, Nancy; Branchaw, Janet – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2020
This case study investigated how mentors and mentees in biology experience and understand race and ethnicity in their research mentoring relationships. Semistructured interviews were conducted with mentors (n = 23) and mentees (n = 15) who had participated in an undergraduate biology summer research opportunity program at a large Midwestern…

Fernandes, Lynette B. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
Responsible conduct in learning and research (RCLR) was progressively introduced into the pharmacology curriculum for undergraduate science students at The University of Western Australia. In the second year of this undergraduate curriculum, a lecture introduces students to issues such as the use of animals in teaching and responsible conduct of…

Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Franco, Josh – Journal of Political Science Education, 2020
How can we merge the science of politics and the practice of politics into a single course? In a 16-week, upper division course on state politics, I address the need to develop students' social scientific skills and practical skills through journal article analysis (JAA) teams and public policy project (PPP) teams. I use a within-subjects, pretest…
