Jonathan S. Gore; Miya Carmichael – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Mentorship experiences involve a variety of motives, but some are more effective than others. The authors hypothesized that personal autonomous reasons (PARs, "for me") and relational autonomous reasons (RARs, "for us") for engaging in undergraduate research would be associated with better perceived and scholarly outcomes,…

Evelyn Abagayle Boyd; Kelly Best Lazar – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Undergraduate research is a high-impact educational practice. However, few studies have analyzed the opportunities and barriers to entry into undergraduate research experiences. A survey for the measurement of undergraduate research science capital (URSC) was developed, rooted at the junction of science capital and social cognitive career theory.…

Eichbauer – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Although higher education aims to provide holistic learning and career preparation, there is growing skepticism about its value, with segments of the public scrutinizing concerns about tuition, student loan debt, and job prospects. Between 2015 and 2020, Florida Gulf Coast University implemented a quality enhancement plan (FGCUScholars) that…

Fostering Metacognition and Feedback Loops in a Summer Undergraduate Research Program: A Pilot Study
Kaytlin Gomez; Chad Curtis – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Undergraduate research experiences are a documented high-impact practice affecting student learning, attitudes, and career outcomes. However, many of these reported benefits are associated with longer-term research experiences. This study pilots the use of a small group metacognition activity in a 10-week summer undergraduate research program. It…

Ruth, Alissa; Brewis, Alexandra; Beresford, Melissa; Smith, Michael E.; Stojanowski, Christopher; SturtzSreetharan, Cindi; Wutich, Amber – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2023
The impact of undergraduate research experiences (UREs) is supported by evidence from physical and life science fields, especially when student-apprentices work in traditional laboratories. Within social sciences specifically, some excellent student outcomes associated with UREs adhere to non-lab-based modalities like course-based research…
