基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURES）符合将研究经验融入生命科学课程的国家建议。因此，CURE越来越受欢迎，许多研究都集中在CURE的学生成果上。制度变革文献强调，理解教师也是新的学科成功的关键。为了开始了解教师对治愈的看法，我们对61名教授治愈的教师进行了半结构化访谈，询问他们为什么教授治愈，结果是什么，以及他们如何与同事讨论治愈。使用扎根理论，参与者的反应被编码和分类为有形或无形的，与学生和教师为中心的主题。我们发现，无形的主题是普遍存在的，有显着差异，在强调有形的主题教师谁已经开发了自己的独立的CURE相比，教师谁实施预先开发的，国家的CURE。我们专注于我们的研究结果的教师谁教这两种不同的治愈类型的观点之间的相似性和差异，并探讨所有参与者之间的趋势。这项工作的结果突出表明，需要考虑一个多维度的框架来理解，促进和成功地实施CURE。
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) meet national recommendations for integrating research experiences into life science curricula. As such, CUREs have grown in popularity and many research studies have focused on student outcomes from CUREs. Institutional change literature highlights that understanding faculty is also key to new pedagogies succeeding. To begin to understand faculty perspectives on CUREs, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 61 faculty who teach CUREs regarding why they teach CUREs, what the outcomes are, and how they would discuss a CURE with a colleague. Using grounded theory, participant responses were coded and categorized as tangible or intangible, related to both student and faculty-centered themes. We found that intangible themes were prevalent, and that there were significant differences in the emphasis on tangible themes for faculty who have developed their own independent CUREs when compared with faculty who implement pre-developed, national CUREs. We focus our results on the similarities and differences among the perspectives of faculty who teach these two different CURE types and explore trends among all participants. The results of this work highlight the need for considering a multi-dimensional framework to understand, promote, and successfully implement CUREs.
