增加获得本科研究的机会对于留住追求STEM职业的学生至关重要。传统研究职位的替代方案，如基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES），在吸引更多的本科生参与研究方面发挥了重要作用。然而，这些机会只是可能的非传统研究经验的一个子集，可以丰富本科生的经验。在这项研究中，我们严格审查和改进的研究小组领导的本科生研究计划（GURP），以更好地满足本科生寻求研究的需求。具体来说，我们调查了该计划是否成功地使用了更多样化的数据集，如果学习评估在不同的数据集和教学环境中是一致的，以及该计划是否促进了学生参与研究。我们发现，这种模式是可扩展的，强大的，并适应不同的实施，同时为学生产生一致和积极的学习成果。特别值得注意的是，学生作为科学家的自我认同感增强，在多个知识领域的自我感知能力方面取得了统计学上的显著进步。该计划模式已显示出可喜的成果，作为本科生的部分和完全在线研究经验，并在他们的研究生涯中受益于计划校友。为了帮助研究小组启动类似的项目，我们创建了公共数据集和教学资源。我们相信，GURP计划可以在各种情况下工作，并希望他们可以成为一个工具，以增加兴趣和建立社区的年轻研究人员。
Increasing access to undergraduate research is critical in efforts to retain students pursuing careers in STEM. Alternatives to traditional research positions, such as course based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), have played important roles in engaging more undergraduates in research. However, these opportunities are only a subset of possible nontraditional research experiences which can enrich the undergraduate experience. In this study, we critically examined and improved the research-group-led undergraduate research program (GURP) to better meet the needs of undergraduates seeking research. Specifically, we investigated if the program was successful with a greater diversity of data sets, if assessments of learning were consistent across different data sets and teaching environments, and if the program promoted student engagement in research. We have found that this model is scalable, robust, and adaptable to different implementations while producing consistent and positive learning outcomes for students. Especially remarkable are students’ increased self-identification as scientists and statistically significant gains in self-perceived competency across multiple domains of knowledge. This program model has shown promising results as a partially and fully online research experience for undergraduates and has benefited program alumni in their research careers. To assist research groups starting similar programs, we have created public data sets and instructional resources. We believe that GURP programs can work in a variety of situations and hope that they can become a tool to increase interest and build communities for young researchers.
