Ritchie, Kathy L. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021
Undergraduate research as a high-impact practice demonstrates many positive benefits for students, but little research has delved into the impact of ethical training for research, in particular submitting Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocols to determine if the study meets ethical standards for the treatment of human subjects. This study…

Darling, Randi A. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
I teach an animal behavior course where students conduct independent research projects; however, using live animals for research is challenging at a small university. Often, students choose to conduct a laboratory project over a field project believing that it will be easier to observe animals and control variables, but it can be difficult and…

Keaver, Laura; Ludy, Mary-Jon; Folk, Sara Yi Ling; Gadd, Suzannah; Oleksiak, Maggie; Hsiao, Pao-Ying; Tucker, Robin M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Ripple Effects Mapping (REM) is a qualitative data analysis approach that combines mind mapping with inductive analysis to condense data obtained from group interviews. One benefit of REM is the ability to identify unintended outcomes, or "ripples," of the intervention of interest. Ripples are visually represented by a mind map created…

Genné-Bacon, Elizabeth A.; Wilks, Jessica; Bascom-Slack, Carol – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective way to expose large numbers of students to authentic research, yet most laboratory courses still use traditional "cookbook" methods. While barriers to using CUREs have been captured postimplementation, little is known about the decision mindset before implementation…
