由于 SARS-CoV-2 大流行(2020 年春季),大学迅速转向远程教学。我们在此时间范围内的研究包括调查普通化学中基于课程的本科生研究经验 (CURE),我们发现自己正处于没有任何实验室组成部分的 CURE 研究中(又名“CURE 中断”)。虽然围绕 CURE 重要性的文献非常广泛,但根据我们的文献检索,我们认为这是第一份研究报告,展示了在未实际实施湿实验室组件的情况下给予 CURE 产品时学生的成果。因此,我们问“对于学生来说,执行 CURE 的整个研究项目重要还是仅仅理解过程的科学推理和合理化重要?”在此,我们使用 CLASS 工具将学生的反应报告为“专家类”和“非专家类”数据,并描述参与 CURE 和非 CURE 学生的焦点小组的定性结果。 CURE 参与者的首要主题包括:发现 (29.91%)、通过实践理解 (23.41%) 以及研究技能和技术 (20.36%)。相反,传统实验室的学生报告的最重要的新兴主题主要围绕课程组织,最重要的新兴主题包括:需要更多结构(14.69%)、研究技能和技术(7.3%)以及通过实践理解(6.11%)。这些初步发现证明了 CURE 的价值,即使在中断的情况下也是如此。虽然这种流行病提供了独特的机会来评估在没有湿实验室经验的情况下提供治愈方法,但我们最终建议围绕这一想法在更受控的(非远程)学习环境中完成更多研究,以证实这些发现。
Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (spring 2020), universities quickly moved to remote instruction. Our research during this time frame included investigating course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in General Chemistry, and we found ourselves in the middle of a CURE study without any laboratory component (aka “CURE-disrupted”). While the literature surrounding the importance of CUREs is extensive, based on our literature search, we posit that this is the first report of a study demonstrating student outcomes when given the CURE offering without actually implementing the wet-lab component. Consequently, we asked “is it important for students to execute theentireresearch project of a CURE or to simply understand scientificreasoningand rationalization of theprocesses?” Herein, we report student responses as “expert-like” and “non-expert-like” data using the CLASS instrument, and we describe the qualitative results from focus groups for the participating CURE and non-CURE students. Top emergent themes from the CURE participants included: Discovery (29.91%), Understanding by Doing (23.41%), and Research Skills and Techniques (20.36%). Conversely, students in the traditional lab reported top emergent themes mostly surrounding course organization, and top emergent themes included: Required More Structure (14.69%), Research Skills and Techniques (7.3%), and Understanding by Doing (6.11%). These preliminary findings demonstrate the value of a CURE, even while disrupted. While this pandemic allowed for the unique opportunity to evaluate offering a CURE without a wet-lab-based experience, we ultimately suggest that additional studies be completed surrounding this idea, in a more controlled (nonremote) learning environment to corroborate these findings.
