Coming Full Circle: Using assessment to inform undergraduate research experiences design, implementation, and assessment practices, Part I

这项建议是第一次在一个三阶段的倡议，旨在产生规划工具和直接评估措施，用于本科生的研究项目。 第一阶段的目的是（1）确定具体的经验和技能，有助于学习和地球科学技能发展的能力，（2）确定教师在设计项目时参与的过程，对成功的设计元素进行分类，并对过去的项目中使用的评估方法进行编码。 在拟议的研究中获得的信息将为该倡议的第二阶段提供信息：制定一项规划/评估协议，供地球科学和实地本科生研究项目使用。

This proposal is the first in a three-phase initiative aimed at generating planning tools and direct assessment measures for use on undergraduate research projects. The purpose of Phase I is (1) to identify specific experiences and skills that contributed to learning and competency in geoscience skill development, and (2) to identify the processes faculty engage in when designing their projects, categorize successful design elements, and codify assessment methods used on past projects. Information gained in the proposed study will inform the second phase of the initiative: development of a planning/assessment protocol for use in geoscience and field-based undergraduate research projects.
