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…

Steven D. Seidel; Stephanie R. Rodriguez; Gina A. Hawkins – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2024
The three-minute thesis (3MT™), developed by the University of Queensland, is a tool that has been used to help graduate students articulate their research in a concise and engaging manner. This article describes processes for using a three-minute presentation (3MP) for classroom use to improve students' research literacy, critical-thinking, and…

Rebecca S. Friesen; Adriana D. Cimetta – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Attracting and retaining students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics majors, particularly those who are underrepresented, is a national concern. While undergraduate research experiences have been shown to increase retention and engagement, inequities in access exacerbate disparities. Understanding what hinders or facilitates the…

Janine Bittner – Online Submission, 2024
This paper examines students' understanding of good leadership and successful teamwork. I used learning portfolios as a reflection tool for bachelor students in geography who participated in a community-based research course, which was combined with elements of service-learning. The learning portfolios consisted of seven reflection-stimulating key…

Olivia Hawco; Erynne Sutanto; Haider Alsafar; Eshal Dave; Aditi Bansal; Ayuni Ratnayake; Emily Bell; Aarthi Ashok – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
Immersive research opportunities allow students to take ownership of their learning, explore based on curiosity, and engage in the scientific process while developing confidence and skills. However, research positions for biology undergraduates are limited, and conventional teaching labs are often restricted to pre-designed experiments without…

Samer Doughan; Anna Shahmuradyan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Advancements in technology have led to significant changes in the workforce and created a demand for expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In response, curricula have evolved to emphasize essential skills such as critical thinking and communication to prepare students for STEM-based careers. To this end,…

Karls, Michael A. – PRIMUS, 2017
In this paper I will outline the process I have developed for conducting applied mathematics research with undergraduates and give some examples of the projects we have worked on. Several of these projects have led to refereed publications that could be used to illustrate topics taught in the undergraduate curriculum.

Hauwiller, Matthew R.; Ondry, Justin C.; Calvin, Jason J.; Baranger, Anne M.; Alivisatos, A. Paul – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Participating in undergraduate research yields positive outcomes for undergraduate students, and universities are seeking ways to engage more students in undergraduate research earlier in their academic careers. Typically, undergraduate students perform research either as part of an apprenticeship where a student receives individual mentorship in…

Shelton, Therese – PRIMUS, 2018
Mathematical modeling allows flexibility for a project-based experience. We share details of our regular capstone course, successful for virtually 100% of our math majors for almost two decades. Our research-like approach in this course accommodates a variety of student backgrounds and interests, and has produced some award-winning student…

Holmes, N. G.; Wieman, Carl E. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
While the positive outcomes of undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been extensively categorized, the mechanisms for those outcomes are less understood. Through lightly structured focus group interviews, we have extracted the cognitive tasks that students identify as engaging in during their UREs. We also use their many comparative…

Moore, Sean D.; Teter, Ken – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
Undergraduate research clearly enriches the educational development of participating students, but these experiences are limited by the inherent inefficiency of the standard one student-one mentor model for undergraduate research. Group-effort applied research (GEAR) was developed as a strategy to provide substantial numbers of undergraduates with…

Mayfield, Betty – PRIMUS, 2014
The benefits of including the study of the history of mathematics in the education of mathematics majors have been discussed at length elsewhere. Many colleges and universities now offer a History of Mathematics course for mathematics majors, for mathematics education majors, or for general credit. At Hood College, we emphasize our commitment to…

Lee, Nancy E.; Gurney, Rich; Soltzberg, Leonard – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Despite the accepted pedagogical value of integrating research into the laboratory curriculum, this approach has not been widely adopted. The activation barrier to this change is high, especially in organic chemistry, where a large number of students are required to take this course, special glassware or setups may be needed, and dangerous…

Gustafson, Kevin; Cureton, Zachary – Honors in Practice, 2014
One of the National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) Basic Characteristics of a Fully Developed Honors Program is that it creates opportunities for undergraduate research, opportunities that frequently culminate in a senior thesis or capstone project. This article describes how the University of Texas at Arlington Honors College integrated…

Despeaux, Sloan Evans – PRIMUS, 2014
In this article, I will discuss a collective research project that I designed for my History of Mathematics course. My students, who are by and large pre-service teachers, explored online, digital versions of 18th-century British almanacs that contained question-and-answer sections for mathematics. In a multi-stage research process, they explored…
