Mentoring Psychology Research Experiences through Replication with the Collaborative Replication and Education Project

该项目旨在通过使用直接复制作为学习工具来改善心理学本科生的研究培训，从而为国家利益服务。该项目将通过为心理学讲师举办一系列虚拟夏季研讨会来实现这一目标，心理学讲师将学习如何通过让学生从头到尾完成自己的学习来教学生进行研究。系列讲习班将向教员介绍协作复制和教育项目，该项目是一个支持直接复制已发表的工作的小组，鼓励教员让学生在其课程中进行这些复制研究。复制是良好科学的标志，通过教育支持复制的工作是国家科学基金会的优先事项。此外，该领域受益于直接复制已发表的作品，学生是进行直接复制的优秀候选人，最近呼吁学生参与这项工作，为他们的项目和论文（昆塔纳，2021年）。拟议的研讨会将采用现有的学生复制系统CREP，并为教师提供时间和支持，以开发教材和准备使用这种方法的课程。本科心理学教师的这一系列研讨会将在2023年夏季举行，并将提供给多达14名参与者。研讨会将介绍CREP，并展示如何在课程中使用它，然后提供资源，支持教师教学生如何编写与多样性，公平，包容和获取有关的有意义的扩展假设。在这一系列活动中，主持人将单独会见教员，以协助使每位教员的工作适合其特定的机构和学生。与会者将为CREP项目的教学手册做出贡献，在系列研讨会之后，还将应邀为与该手册有关的手稿以及他们在CREP教学方面的经验做出贡献。教学材料和精选的研讨会录音将提供给其他教师。因此，该项目不仅将影响这14名教师及其学生，而且还将影响任何其他有兴趣在未来采用这些项目的教师。NSF IUSE：EDU计划支持研究和开发项目，以提高所有学生STEM教育的有效性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This project aims to serve the national interest by improving undergraduate research training in psychology through the use of direct replication as a learning tool. The project will accomplish this through a series of virtual summer workshops for psychology instructors who will learn how to teach students to conduct research by having students complete their own study from start to finish. The workshop series would introduce instructors to the Collaborative Replication and Education Project (CREP), a group that supports direct replication of published work by encouraging instructors to have students conduct these replication studies in their courses. Replication is a hallmark of good science, and work that supports replication through education is a priority for the National Science Foundation. Additionally, the field benefits from direct replication of published work and students are excellent candidates to carry out direct replication, as demonstrated by recent calls for students to engage in this work for their projects and theses (Quintana, 2021). The proposed workshops will take an existing system for student replications, CREP, and provide instructors time and support in developing teaching materials and preparing their courses to use this approach. This series of workshops for undergraduate psychology faculty will be held virtually in Summer 2023 and will be delivered to up to 14 participants. The workshops will introduce CREP and demonstrate how it can be used in the context of courses, and then provide resources to support instructors in teaching students how to write meaningful extension hypotheses related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access. During the series, the facilitators will meet with instructors individually to assist in tailoring each instructor’s work to their specific institution and students. Participants will contribute to a teaching manual for CREP projects and, following the workshop series, will also be invited to contribute to a manuscript related to this manual and their experiences teaching with CREP. Teaching materials and select workshop recordings will be available for other instructors. This project will therefore not only impact these 14 instructors and their students, but also any other instructor who is interested in adopting these projects in the future. The NSF IUSE: EDU Program supports research and development projects to improve the effectiveness of STEM education for all students. Through its Engaged Student Learning track, the program supports the creation, exploration, and implementation of promising practices and tools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
