Psychology - Biological (71), Psychology - Cognitive (73)The Research and Learning Enhancement Laboratory (R&LE) project is designed to enhance introductory-level undergraduate students' comprehension of research and statistical methods in the psychological sciences. To achieve this goal, the project is building on the LEARN program, developed at the University of Rhode Island, to create research and learning enhancement laboratories that incorporate collaborative, peer-assisted, and web-enhanced pedagogies for introductory psychology students. Students spend one hour of a three hour Introduction to Psychology course in an R&LE lab; the other two hours of the course are spent in a lecture-based classroom. Performance of students in the experimental R&LE lab course is being compared to students in a control course that consists only of lecture classes. Performance measures include increases in students' quantitative skills, knowledge of basic psychological concepts, research and statistics self-efficacy, motivation, cognitive learning strategies, and sense of belonging. The results and methods of the project are being disseminated to STEM faculty at several institutions. Through papers, manuals and workshops, faculty are learning how to incorporate these methods in their courses, and how to engage students in collaborative research activities very early in their educational training.

心理学 - 生物学 (71)、心理学 - 认知 (73) 研究和学习增强实验室 (R&LE) 项目旨在增强入门级本科生对心理科学研究和统计方法的理解。 为了实现这一目标，该项目以罗德岛大学开发的 LEARN 计划为基础，创建研究和学习增强实验室，为心理学入门学生提供协作、同伴协助和网络增强的教学法。 学生在 R&LE 实验室学习 3 小时的心理学概论课程中的 1 个小时；课程的另外两个小时在课堂上进行。 将实验性 R&LE 实验室课程中学生的表现与仅由讲座组成的控制课程中的学生进行比较。 绩效衡量包括学生定量技能、基本心理学概念知识、研究和统计自我效能、动机、认知学习策略和归属感的提高。 该项目的结果和方法正在向多家机构的 STEM 教师传播。 通过论文、手册和研讨会，教师们正在学习如何将这些方法融入到他们的课程中，以及如何在教育培训的早期让学生参与协作研究活动。
