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）项目旨在提高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，该项目是建立在学习计划，在罗得岛大学开发，创建研究和学习增强实验室，结合协作，同侪协助，并为心理学导论学生网络增强的教学法。 学生花一个小时的三个小时介绍心理学课程在一个R LE实验室;课程的其他两个小时是在一个基于讲座的教室里度过。 学生在实验RLE实验室课程的表现进行了比较，学生在控制课程，只包括讲座类。 绩效指标包括学生的量化技能、基本心理概念知识、研究和统计自我效能、动机、认知学习策略和归属感的增加。 该项目的成果和方法正在向几个机构的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纳入他们的课程，以及如何让学生在合作研究活动很早就在他们的教育培训。
