摘要本科生的研究经验（URES），无论是在一个导师，学员的经验或课堂框架的背景下，代表了一个很好的机会，让学生接触到独立的奖学金模式。本科生研究的高影响力最近在STEM学科的背景下受到了关注。本文反映了2017年对统计学教师的调查，探讨了URES的感知益处，以及URES纳入的障碍，特别是在统计学领域。学生，教师导师和机构的观点进行了调查。此外，文章提供了几种策略，利用独特的统计领域的特点，以克服障碍，从而为本科统计学生获得研究经验提供更大的机会。
Abstract Undergraduate research experiences (UREs), whether within the context of a mentor-mentee experience or a classroom framework, represent an excellent opportunity to expose students to the independent scholarship model. The high impact of undergraduate research has received recent attention in the context of STEM disciplines. Reflecting a 2017 survey of statistics faculty, this article examines the perceived benefits of UREs, as well as barriers to the incorporation of UREs, specifically within the field of statistics. Viewpoints of students, faculty mentors, and institutions are investigated. Further, the article offers several strategies for leveraging characteristics unique to the field of statistics to overcome barriers and thereby provide greater opportunity for undergraduate statistics students to gain research experience.
