Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are an effective strategy to teach students about the process of scientific research. Students participating in a CURE also benefit in numerous other ways, such as gaining increased enthusiasm for science and increased retention in a STEM field. Because scientific research is increasingly…

In this study, we evaluated the effect of student autonomy to ask the research question and course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) duration on student perceptions of research practices in the context of a CURE focused on evaluation of the microbiome of bean beetles. Instructors implemented the Bean Beetle Microbiome CURE at two…

Celina Antony; Nevart Terzian; Mark Lee; Alessia Greco; Margaret Secord; Michael Wong – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2025
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…

Yu-ting Chen; Shu-mei Cao; Xing Liu; Jian Zhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
To improve the experimental interest and innovative ability of advanced undergraduate students, a luminescent sensing laboratory experiment with visual performance characteristics is introduced. Students have synthesized an organic hybrid cage-like europium-germanate oxo cluster with the formula of [Eu[subscript 8](phen) [subscript 2]Ge[subscript…

Wei Xiong; Huhu Yin; Xiujing Xing; Hao Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Although the present university-level chemistry experimental curriculum has been extensive and well-designed, it lacks a connection with the scientific research field, especially the frontier field. It is crucial to incorporate recent discoveries through new experiment designs to bridge this gap and boost the value of the undergraduate…

Ruifeng Zhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This study aims to give chemistry students a deeper understanding of electron shielding and quantum transitions by interpreting the characteristic X-ray lines. There is a popular misunderstanding among learners and even teachers in which an outer-shell electron fills a vacancy in the inner shell, releasing some of its energy as an X-ray photon.…

Ana Teresa Neves; Diana Boaventura; Cecília Galvão – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2025
Citizen science is a promising field for research in climate change. It has also been recognised with great potential in the field of climate change education, especially in the increase of scientific knowledge and science process skills. The study aims to examine the contributions of citizen science to learning outcomes regarding climate change…

Hernandez, Ronald M.; Montes-Valer, Esther; Mamani-Benito, Oscar; Ortega-Pauta, Beatriz I.; Saavedra-Lopez, Miguel A.; Calle-Ramirez, Xiomara M. – International Journal of Education and Practice, 2022
The attitude towards scientific research of university students is a determinant index of the education quality in an institution, and it is fundamental to consolidate the profession as a science. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards scientific research of the Peruvian students of the professional program of psychology. The…

Background: Studying science identity has been useful for understanding students' continuation in science-related education and career paths. Yet knowledge and theory related to science identity among students on the path to becoming a professional science researcher, such as students engaged in research at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate,…

Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs. Without this information, it is impossible to assess whether participation…

Pekkola, Samuli – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2023
Design science research (DSR) is an appropriate method for postgraduate-level (MSc) thesis work, where the students need to combine and apply theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills to solve practical problems. Students face considerable challenges, however, when applying DSR in timeboxed situations with limited competences. In this paper, I…

In Pursuit of Mutual Benefits in School-Based Citizen Science: Who Wins What in a Win-Win Situation?
Atias, Osnat; Baram-Tsabari, Ayelet; Kali, Yael; Shavit, Ayelet – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
In a typical citizen science scenario different groups of people take on various roles in a research process that is often coupled with educational, social or personal objectives. A widely accepted viewpoint asserts that such an endeavor should bring benefits to all involved parties and that no participating individuals should act "in…

Kasey L. Wozniak; Anna S. Grinath; Heather J. Ray; Devaleena S. Pradhan – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2025
A key component of authentic undergraduate research experiences is supporting students in recognizing their agency to shape a research project and develop project ownership. Previous research has suggested design elements that could foster project ownership in course-based research experiences. However, research is needed to examine how these…
