基于课程的本科研究经验(CURES)为学生提供了在课程中从事研究的机会。CURE设计的各个方面,例如为学生提供发现,合作,从事相关工作的机会,以及解决问题的能力,被认为有助于CURE的成果。然而,这些因素中的每一个如何有助于具体的结果,在很大程度上是未经探讨的。这种缺乏理解是有问题的,因为我们可能无意中低估了CURE设计的重要方面,这些方面在设计或教授我们的课程时可以实现高度重视的成果。在这项工作中,我们采取定性方法,并利用CURE的两个产品中的独特情况来调查这些设计元素如何影响结果的实现。一个产品经历了许多研究挑战,增加了迭代的参与度。这种程度的研究挑战最终阻碍了预定义研究目标的实现。在另一个课程中,学生经历了较少的研究挑战,并最终实现了预定义的研究目标。我们的研究结果表明,当学生遇到研究挑战并参与迭代时,他们有可能提高他们驾驭科学障碍的能力。此外,我们的研究结果表明,合作和自治,或指导自己的工作,在成果的实现的作用。
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide students opportunities to engage in research in a course. Aspects of CURE design, such as providing students opportunities to make discoveries, collaborate, engage in relevant work, and iterate to solve problems are thought to contribute to outcome achievement in CUREs. Yet how each of these elements contributes to specific outcomes is largely unexplored. This lack of understanding is problematic, because we may unintentionally underemphasize important aspects of CURE design that allow for achievement of highly valued outcomes when designing or teaching our courses. In this work, we take a qualitative approach and leverage unique circumstances in two offerings of a CURE to investigate how these design elements influence outcome achievement. One offering experienced many research challenges that increased engagement in iteration. This level of research challenge ultimately prevented achievement of predefined research goals. In the other offering, students experienced fewer research challenges and ultimately achieved predefined research goals. Our results suggest that, when students encounter research challenges and engage in iteration, they have the potential to increase their ability to navigate scientific obstacles. In addition, our results suggest roles for collaboration and autonomy, or directing one’s own work, in outcome achievement.
