作者开发并评估了一种创新的基于课程的本科研究经验，强调学生之间的合作，并专注于数据分析。我们提出了一个创新的基于课程的本科研究经验课程，重点是p53单点突变的表征，p53是一种肿瘤抑制基因，在超过50%的人类癌症中发生突变。这门课程是所有生物学导论学生的必修课，因此所有生物学专业的学生都要参加一个研究项目，作为他们训练的一部分。使用一组开放式的书面提示，我们发现，这门课程改变了学生的概念，从新手到更像专家的科学家思考意味着什么。在课程结束时，学生们将实验重复、数据分析和协作确定为像科学家一样思考的重要因素。课程考试显示，学生在分析和解释数据的能力方面有所提高。这些数据表明，这种课程嵌入式的研究经验对学生的科学思维的概念和实践的发展有积极的影响。
The authors developed and assessed an innovative course-based undergraduate research experience that emphasized collaboration among students and focused on data analysis. We present an innovative course-based undergraduate research experience curriculum focused on the characterization of single point mutations in p53, a tumor suppressor gene that is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers. This course is required of all introductory biology students, so all biology majors engage in a research project as part of their training. Using a set of open-ended written prompts, we found that the course shifts student conceptions of what it means to think like a scientist from novice to more expert-like. Students at the end of the course identified experimental repetition, data analysis, and collaboration as important elements of thinking like a scientist. Course exams revealed that students showed gains in their ability to analyze and interpret data. These data indicate that this course-embedded research experience has a positive impact on the development of students’ conceptions and practice of scientific thinking.
