Balasubramanian, Archana; Chatterjee, Jhinuk – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate research is an important component of a B.Tech. Biotechnology program. In the present study, a customizable approach designed with open-source bioinformatics tools and databases was introduced to predict siRNAs for ZIKV therapeutics. With minimal prior exposure to bioinformatics, this workflow can be executed with detailed steps as…

Nitha Siby; Mohammad Ammar; Jolly Bhadra; Elmogiera Fadlallh Elsaye Elawad; Noora Jabor Al-Thani; Zubair Ahmad – Higher Education, Skills and Work-based Learning, 2024
Purpose: Research internships are integral components of undergraduate programs that nurture students' skill sets. However, the current trend of these internships adopting a direct apprenticeship model, often termed "cookbook" laboratory sessions, falls short of cultivating 21st-century skills. Therefore, this study proposes an…

Danielle X. Morales; Sara E. Grineski; Timothy W. Collins – Research in Higher Education, 2024
Although previous research has documented benefits of undergraduate research experiences (UREs), posttraumatic growth from COVID-19 has never been examined. Based on data collected from 891 students from 114 US universities in July 2020, this study shows that among undergraduates who conducted research during COVID-19, underrepresented minorities…

Tracy X. P. Zou; Jetty C. Y. Lee; Ka Sing Yu; King L. Chow; Tom J. Barry; Lily Y. Y. Leung; Angela Brew – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2024
The implementation of a research-based curriculum that enables students to develop essential capabilities for this complex world is challenging. There is limited understanding of the implementation of a research-based curriculum in a whole degree programme, and few studies examined how faculty members and students perceived such a curriculum. This…

Nikos Macheridis; Annika Fjelkner Pihl; Alexander Paulsson; Håkan Pihl – Tertiary Education and Management, 2024
Students experience the research-teaching nexus differently as they progress through their first three years of undergraduate study depending on the discipline. The question is if students, within the same discipline, experience the nexus differently depending on the profile of the institution where they study. The present study explored students'…

Brittney Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This case study explores undergraduate students' ideas about, behaviors regarding, experiences with, and application of information literacy (IL) concepts and how they apply these understandings in their own research processes. Students from an undergraduate Honors Thesis Preparation course completed a pre- and post-questionnaire in which they…

Kurt Bodenstedt; Jacob L. Fripp; Shan Li; Zhou Lu; Mohammad A. Omary; Molly B. Atkinson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An advanced research discovery laboratory course in inorganic chemistry has been developed to engage undergraduate students in authentic research experiences directly related to concepts and theory taught in the lecture portion of the course. The 12-week laboratory involves an initial 4 weeks of training experiments on inorganic/organometallic…

Marilyn Rampersad Mackiewicz; Kathryn N. Hosbein; Dawn Mason; Ramya Ajjarapu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Here, we describe strategies for integrating transferrable professional development (PD) skills into research learning environments for marginalized undergraduate students. The undergraduate research experience evolved to include the competencies students need to be successful and to gain a sense of belonging in the chemistry community they are…

Johnson, Kristine; Rifenburg, J. Michael – Across the Disciplines, 2022
In this article, we examine undergraduate research as a site of rhetorical development by listening to undergraduate researchers narrate and reflect upon their work as it unfolds. We draw from diary entries and follow-up interviews with eighteen undergraduate researchers at two different institutions, analyzing the rhetorical and affective…

Hernandez, Ronald M.; Montes-Valer, Esther; Mamani-Benito, Oscar; Ortega-Pauta, Beatriz I.; Saavedra-Lopez, Miguel A.; Calle-Ramirez, Xiomara M. – International Journal of Education and Practice, 2022
The attitude towards scientific research of university students is a determinant index of the education quality in an institution, and it is fundamental to consolidate the profession as a science. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards scientific research of the Peruvian students of the professional program of psychology. The…

Karen A. Santillan; Andrea M. Rediske; Jeffrey T. Olimpo – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been identified as a promising approach to engage large numbers of students in discovery-based investigations in the biological sciences. As the prevalence of CUREs continues to increase nationwide, the role of graduate teaching assistants (TAs) in facilitating these courses has…

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…
