Héctor G. Loyola Irizarry; Hiram Duarte; Kyoko Nakamura; Rocio Benabentos; Melissa McCartney; Jessica Siltberg-Liberles – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2025
The biology workforce has a need for undergraduate students trained in bioinformatics. Although bioinformatics is a critical sub-discipline of biology, it is not required in all biology degree programs. In parallel, there is a need to increase student access to research experiences. To address these needs, we offer a one-credit…

Zhiyong Cheng; Kate Marris – NACTA Journal, 2024
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) benefit student learning by providing accessible authentic research opportunities. However, the uniqueness of each disciple and variation in instructors' perception of CUREs make it challenging to reach a consensus on how to effectively assess students' research abilities in a CURE…

Maja Elmgren; Åsa Lindberg-Sand; Anders Sonesson – Minerva: A Review of Science, Learning and Policy, 2024
The doctorate forms the basis for academic careers and the regeneration of academia, and has increasingly become important for other sectors of society. The latter is reflected in efforts on institutional, national as well as supranational levels to change and adapt the doctoral degree to new expectations. As doctoral education is embedded in…

Tamika N. Smith; Cindy Ann Kilgo – Journal of College Student Development, 2024
Undergraduate research is a way for students with minoritized racial identities to engage in a high-impact practice that increases their critical thinking, writing, and communication skills as well as their academic aspirations and retention (Bowman & Holmes, 2018). For racially minoritized students, the role of race is a critical component…

Mayara Fontanelli dos Santos; Ana Luiza de Camargo Doimo; Numbia Aparecida Lima; Josenilton de Jesus dos Santos; Marcos V. Palmeira-Mello; Caterina G. C. Marques Netto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) approach is increasingly being used in undergraduate experimental courses. Here, we describe the implementation of CURE in an upper-level inorganic chemistry course, in which students were assigned different current themes to study. This paper focuses on the theme of quantum dots,…

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…

Evelyn Abagayle Boyd – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Often prevalent in the sciences, undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are highly beneficial engaged learning experiences in higher education. Though the benefits of UREs are well established, there is little information about which students participate in these experiences and the pathways they take to become engaged in them. This study…

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…
