Fostering Metacognition and Feedback Loops in a Summer Undergraduate Research Program: A Pilot Study
Kaytlin Gomez; Chad Curtis – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Undergraduate research experiences are a documented high-impact practice affecting student learning, attitudes, and career outcomes. However, many of these reported benefits are associated with longer-term research experiences. This study pilots the use of a small group metacognition activity in a 10-week summer undergraduate research program. It…

Maaz, Tai McClellan; Nguyen, Nhu H.; Del Valle Echevarria, Angel R.; Kantar, Michael B.; Mileyko, Yuriy; Muszynski, Michael G. – Natural Sciences Education, 2022
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is consistently seen as a top priority; however, STEM programs often suffer from low retention. Students who start in STEM degree programs often lose interest or face obstacles that cause them to leave. Here, we describe a non-traditional approach meant to encourage a range of…

For traditionally underrepresented students, engaging in research experiences often means entering traditionally exclusive places with few role models that reflect their social identities. By looking at a small, public, minority-serving institution where students conduct summer research at other, less diverse institutions, this study explored the…

Murry, Adam T.; Yuan, Nan; Atkinson, Dean – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Many undergraduates use research internships to gain experience for graduate school. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs involve heavy research and lab work duties, for which students are often unprepared and lack opportunities for practice. Evidence supports Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) programs' ability…

Integrating humanities and arts into STEM has been suggested to better prepare students for the workforce. Studies have shown that improvisation (abbreviated as improv), an educational program from humanities and arts, can potentially improve engineering pedagogy and learning. However, little is known about improv's impact on developing…
