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…

Goodwin, Emma Crystal; Cary, Jessica R.; Phan, Vivian D.; Therrien, Hayley; Shortlidge, Erin Elizabeth – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
The drive to broaden equitable access to undergraduate research experiences has catalyzed the development and implementation of course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). Biology education has prioritized embedding CUREs in introductory labs, which are frequently taught by graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). Thus, a CURE GTA is…

Zigerell, L. J. – Journal of Political Science Education, 2023
Data visualization is an important tool for communicating research results. This manuscript discusses a method that instructors can use to introduce political science students to visualizations and discusses strategies that instructors can share with students about how to create high-quality visualizations. These strategies can help students make…

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…

Witucki, Allison; Rudge, David W.; Pleasants, Brandy; Dai, Peng; Beane, Wendy S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic forced educators to teach in an online environment. This was particularly challenging for those teaching courses that are intended to support bench science research. This practitioner article tells the story of how an instructor transformed their Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) using the Backwards Design…

Meagan Call-Cummings; Giovanni P. Dazzo; LeAnne Beardsley; Jeffrey Blibo – Educational Action Research, 2023
In participatory action research (PAR), university-based researchers often take foundational concepts such as transformation, empowerment, critical consciousness, and mutual understanding for granted as desirable or necessary outcomes or achievements. We discuss the danger of this and suggest that researchers recognize these as processes that…

Mertens, Gillian E. – Middle School Journal, 2023
How do students make sense of sources encountered during online inquiry, when the source types can be as varied as the topics themselves? This paper presents findings from a multiple-case study exploring how four 8th grade students evaluated source credibility while engaged in independent research during an inquiry-based information literacy…

Madalyn Wilson-Fetrow; Vanessa Svihla; Brandon Burnside; Abhaya Datye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
While students can learn both chemistry content and inquiry practices by participating in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), it is well documented that prior experiences shape perception. We conducted a case study to investigate students' first experiences with a CURE in an upper-division chemical engineering laboratory…

Sim, Kwong Nui – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in academic practice has progressed rapidly in the last decade. Nevertheless, it's use has been taken-for-granted and/or overlooked in academic practice, especially in doctoral research. This pilot study was carried out in 2017, with the aim to examine PhD supervisors' and PhD students'…

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…

Calvin, Jason J.; Ondry, Justin C.; Dahl, Jakob C.; Sedlak, Adam B.; McKeown-Green, Amy; Wang, Xingzhi; Crook, Michelle F.; Gleason, Samuel P.; Hauwiller, Matthew R.; Baranger, Anne M.; Alivisatos, A. Paul – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Increasing access to undergraduate research is critical in efforts to retain students pursuing careers in STEM. Alternatives to traditional research positions, such as course based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), have played important roles in engaging more undergraduates in research. However, these opportunities are only a subset of…

Corwin, Lisa A.; Ramsey, Michael E.; Vance, Eric A.; Woolner, Elizabeth; Maiden, Stevie; Gustafson, Nina; Harsh, Joseph A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
The ability to navigate scientific obstacles is widely recognized as a hallmark of a scientific disposition and is one predictor of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics persistence for early-career scientists. However, the development of this competency in undergraduate research has been largely underexplored. This study addresses…

Tyurikov, Alexander Georgievich; Kunizheva, Diana Anzorovna; Voevodina, Ekaterina Vladimirovna; Gruzina, Yulia Mikhailovna – Higher Education Quarterly, 2022
The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the university environment on the development of the research potential of students, as well as build a model for identifying and retaining talented graduates in universities based on the concept of open innovation. In the study, sociological and statistical methods were used: a questionnaire…

Hiro, Molly; McDaneld, Jen – Arts and Humanities in Higher Education: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice, 2022
This essay uses the experience of building a new public humanities program to explore approaches for revitalizing the field. While public humanities scholars have recently focused much of their attention on the "public" part of the public humanities, in the day-to-day institutional context the lack of attention on the…

Gin, Logan E.; Pais, Danielle; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education and in science careers, yet few studies have explored why this may be. A primary predictor of student persistence in science is participating in undergraduate research. However, it is unclear to what extent students with disabilities are participating in research…
