Undergraduate research is an important experience that increases retention, ownership, and learning. Integrating research experiences into the classroom is the focus of course-based undergraduate research education (CUREs) and has become an important tool in curricula of many universities. This article will serve as a guide for those interested in…

Purpose: Securing ethical approval can be a frustrating and opaque experience for some creative practice research students who may find the processes required of them not well suited to their specific inquiry. This can lead to an erosion of trust between students and their institutions. This paper aims to synthesize perspectives representing both…

This essay explores the transformative concept of co-active emergence in education, where human and machine intelligence synergize to enhance learning experiences. It discusses the integration of AI in doctoral research, emphasizing collaborative efforts between humans and AI to push academic boundaries. It also addresses the challenges and…

Integrating information and communication technologies into research curricula can help students become more proficient researchers. Students need strong research capabilities in the modern educational environment to handle the challenges of information access and analysis. This article reveals the results of a study that explored the use of…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have grown in popularity, particularly within introductory biology courses, to provide more students with authentic research experiences. CUREs have been shown to have many of the same positive effects as conventional research experiences; however, most assessments of CUREs lack an…

Purpose: In this study, students' perceptions of the effective practices of their research mentors were examined. The research mentors implemented the practices informed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) mentorship competencies to mentor underrepresented students in engineering education research in a…

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of teachers on undergraduate students' development of research aspirations and the mechanisms behind this process. Design/methodology/approach: Employing social cognitive career theory, the study gathered data from 232 undergraduates, developed a structural equation model via the maximum likelihood…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) enhance student retention in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), particularly among students who belong to historically excluded communities. Yet the mechanisms by which CUREs contribute to student integration and persistence are poorly understood. Utilizing the tripartite…

Critical race pedagogy (CRP) calls for pedagogical approaches that not only acknowledge but also actively resist race-neutral narratives, policies, and practices in education. In the context of undergraduate research (UR), CRP emphasizes the importance of creating research spaces where students of color can see their communities, histories, and…

Background/purpose: This study aims to describe the research performance, competency levels, and information-seeking skills of graduate school writers, and to examine whether these skills significantly correlate with research performance. It also aims to identify which specific aspects of competency and information-seeking skills most strongly…

Conventionally, undergraduate science students engage in learning through didactic methods. This can present science as an indisputable collection of knowledge, rather than an ongoing process of discovery. By increasing students' exposure to scientific processes, undergraduate science programs can enable students to understand the complexities of…

For graduate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), research writing is an essential skill, yet many struggle to produce work of sufficient quality. This critical review examines the instructional approaches to graduate research-writing for STEM majors, as outlined in published journal manuscripts. A total of 29…

This article investigates the profound impact of epistemological reflections on arts education research within postgraduate programmes at Universitas Negeri Semarang, Indonesia's leading institution in arts education. Recognising the unique ontological nature of arts education, the study emphasises the need for flexible research methods. Through…

Documentary filmmaking is presented as a viable research component to doctoral programs in education that center social change. Documentary filmmaking is an established and valid qualitative research option that utilizes academic research skills, critical analysis, and creativity to convey significant findings regarding social issues to a broad…

As colleges and universities increasingly emphasize the importance of High-Impact Learning Experiences (HILEs) in fostering deep learning, equity, and student success, a critical challenge persists: many students remain unaware of these transformative opportunities until later in their academic journey, if at all. To address this gap in early…
