指导本科生完成生态学研究过程可能会带来令人难以置信的回报,并为打破科学学科包容性和多样性的障碍提供机会。与此同时,指导本科生研究人员是一个复杂的过程,需要时间和灵活性。虽然许多学者接受了关于如何在研究工作中取得成功的广泛指导,但我们对导师培训和与本科生合作的关注要少得多。本文试图提供一个与本科生成功合作的框架,包括最初的招聘、合同的制定、培养学生对研究项目的所有权,以及提交一份精美的手稿。
Guiding undergraduates through the ecological research process can be incredibly rewarding and present opportunities to break down barriers to inclusion and diversity in scientific disciplines. At the same time, mentoring undergraduate researchers is a complicated process that requires time and flexibility. While many academics receive extensive guidance on how to be successful in research endeavors, we pay much less attention to training in mentorship and working collaboratively with undergraduate students. This paper seeks to provide a framework for successfully collaborating with undergraduates including initial recruitment, development of a contract, fostering student ownership of research projects, and submission of a polished manuscript.
