虽然计算机科学界已经探索了本科生研究经验（UREs）的重要性，以及单独的计算协作（例如结对编程），但很少有研究研究URE背景下的协作。我们对美国两所大型公立研究型大学面向二年级学生的群组结构、学年性、包容性计算课程中学生如何合作进行了定性专题分析。我们分析了项目早期和后期收集的106名学生的自由回答和李克特量表调查数据，这些学生包括三个项目队列。我们研究了他们的整体小组功能，小组工作的哪些方面导致了积极或消极的小组体验，他们的小组如何影响他们被支持的感觉，以及他们的小组如何影响他们对计算机的归属感。我们发现群体体验是非常积极的。此外，我们发现学生在小组中的经历围绕着三个主题：小组适应和归属，情感和学术支持，以及后勤。在每个主题中，他们的经历都是丰富而微妙的，我们观察到性别的差异，种族的差异较小。我们的工作表明，小组结构的课程对学生来说既可行又有益，我们给出了如何使这些经验成功的具体建议。
While the computer science community has explored the importance of Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs) and, separately, collaboration in computing (e.g. pair programming), little research has studied collaboration in the context of a URE. We performed a qualitative thematic analysis of how students collaborate within a group-structured, academic-year, inclusive computing URE catered towards second-year students at two large public research universities in the United States. We analyzed free-response and Likert-scale survey data collected early and late in the program from a total of 106 students who comprised three program cohorts. We studied their overall group function, what aspects of group work led to positive or negative group experiences, how their group affected their feelings of being supported, and how their group affected their sense of belonging in computing. We found that group experiences were overwhelmingly positive. Further, we found that students’ experiences in groups centered around three themes: group fit and belonging, emotional and academic support, and logistics. Within each theme, their experiences were rich and nuanced, and we observed variations by gender, and to a lesser degree by race. Our work suggests that group-structured UREs are both feasible and beneficial for students, and we give concrete suggestions for how to make these experiences successful.
