基于课程的本科生研究体验 (CURE) 将学生真实的研究体验融入到实验室课程中。 CURE 为学生提供了许多与个别教师指导的研究体验相同的好处。然而，教师在 CURE 教学方面的经验并没有得到很好的了解。没有研究将教师的预期经历与实际经历进行比较，也很少对不同机构的教师经历进行比较。通过对来自四个机构的八位生物学教师的访谈，使用定性分析探讨了教师在入门生物学实验室中实施 CURE 的经验。机构包括：一所小型、服务少数族裔、以本科为主的女子大学；一所小型的、以本科为主的住宿学院；一所中型博士大学；和一所大型社区学院。访谈在三个时间点进行：专业发展 (PD) 之前、CURE 教学第一学期之后以及至少两次 CURE 教学之后（一年后）。教师们描述了教授 CURE 的资源、好处、挑战和感受。然而，预期的经历往往与实际经历的不一样。在资源、利益、挑战和感受方面也存在制度差异。 CURE PD 的含义包括具体内容，例如有效研究小组工作的教学策略、学生提案的制定以及学生时间管理。
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) integrate an authentic research experience for students into a laboratory course. CUREs provide many of the same benefits to students as individual faculty-mentored research experiences. However, faculty experiences in teaching CUREs are not as well understood. There are no studies that compare faculty’s anticipated experiences to actual experiences, and little comparison of the faculty experience by institution. Through interviews with eight biology faculty from four institutions, the faculty experience in implementing a CURE in an introductory biology laboratory was explored using qualitative analysis. Institutions included: a small, minority-serving, women’s, primarily undergraduate university; a small, residential, primarily undergraduate college; a midsized doctoral university; and a large community college. Interviews were conducted at three time points: before professional development (PD), after the initial semester of teaching the CURE, and after teaching the CURE at least twice (1 year later). Faculty described resources, benefits, challenges, and feelings about teaching the CURE. However, anticipated experiences were often not the same as those actually experienced. There were also institutional differences in resources, benefits, challenges, and feelings. Implications for CURE PD include specific content such as strategies for teaching effective research group work, development of student proposals, and student time management.
