Advancement of the scientific enterprise relies on individuals conducting research in an ethical and responsible manner. Educating emergent scholars principles ethics/responsible conduct (E/RCR) is therefore critical to ensuring such advancement. The recent impetus include authentic opportunities as part undergraduate curriculum, via course-based experiences (CUREs), has been shown increase cognitive noncognitive student outcomes. Because these important benefits, CUREs are becoming more...
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been identified as a promising vehicle to broaden novices' participation in authentic scientific opportunities. While recent studies the bioeducation literature focused on influence of CUREs cognitive and non-cognitive student outcomes (e.g., attitudes motivation, science process skills development), few investigations examined extent which contextual features inherent such affect students' academic professional growth. Central...
Abstract Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) engage emerging scholars in the authentic process of scientific discovery, and foster their development content knowledge, motivation, persistence science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Importantly, courses simultaneously offer investigators unique access to an extended population students who receive education mentoring conducting scientifically relevant investigations are thus able contribute effort...
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), which often engage students as early freshman year, have become increasingly common in biology curricula. While many studies highlighted the benefits of CUREs, little attention has been paid to responsible and ethical conduct (RECR) education such contexts. Given this observation, we adopted a mixed methods approach explore extent RECR is being implemented assessed biological sciences CUREs nationwide. Survey semistructured interview...
Evidence suggests that incorporating quantitative reasoning exercises into existent curricular frameworks within the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines is essential for novices’ development of conceptual understanding process skills in these domains. Despite this being case, such studies acknowledge students often experience difficulty applying context scientific problems. To address concern, present study sought to explore impact active demonstrations...
Student involvement in distance education has continued to increase over the last decade and been accelerated by unplanned transition remote instruction caused COVID-19 pandemic. Empirical data demonstrate variable levels of student learning engagement such environments, including limited use technologies (e.g., laptop cameras) interact with peers course instructors. Consequently, creating accessible inclusive virtual contexts that best promote collaboration success - whether lecture or...
Previously, we described a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) for first-year students that featured unique approach to brain mapping in model organism (rat). In response the COVID-19 pandemic, adapted this course an online learning environment, emphasizing image analysis (identifying immunoreactive signal immunohistochemical stain, making neuroanatomical distinctions cytoarchitectural stain) and translation of data atlas. Using quasiexperimental mixed methods approach,...
Course‐based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been shown to enhance students’ development of cognitive and non‐cognitive skills in science, technology, engineering mathematics (STEM) fields resulting the proliferation CURE offerings college course catalogues. These courses often constitute initial experience for students biological sciences, thereby establishing perceptions what it is be a researcher. Though ensuring integrity scientific enterprise through ethical responsible...
