很少有学者全面研究过本科生研究 (UGR) 参与对全校院校学生的好处。在这项研究中，我们利用全国学生参与度调查数据研究了西班牙裔占多数的机构参与 UGR 的好处。使用广义估计方程来检验 UGR 参与对 5 项学生成果的影响：知识和技能的增长、机构支持、总体满意度、平均绩点和学生与教师的互动。结果表明，UGR 参与是所有 5 种结果的强有力的积极预测因子。我们提供了有关增强 UGR 参与的有益影响的策略的见解，特别是对于来自代表性不足群体的学生。
Few scholars have comprehensively examined benefits of undergraduate research (UGR) participation for students at an institution campus-wide. In this study we examined benefits of UGR participation at a Hispanic-majority institution using National Survey of Student Engagement data. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the influence of UGR participation on 5 student outcomes: gains in knowledge and skills, institutional support, overall satisfaction, grade point average, and student faculty interaction. Results indicate that UGR participation is a robust positive predictor of all 5 outcomes. We provide insights into strategies for enhancing the beneficial impacts of UGR participation, especially for students from underrepresented groups.
