Majka, Elizabeth A.; Bennett, Kyle F.; Sawyer, Thomas P.; Johnson, Jon L.; Guenther, Merrilee F. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) represent an economical and practical way for institutions to equitably offer research experiences to large numbers of students. Although the benefits of CUREs are well documented, most CURE models are not guided by theory and are discipline specific, which limits their application. We used a…
