Cross-Discipline Perceptions of the Undergraduate Research Experience (2011, background): “Undergraduate research is seen as having a “confirmatory role” for students (Hurtado et al., 2008; Russell et al., 2007; Seymour et al., 2004; Sun et al., 2006).”
Identifying 21st Century STEM Competencies Using Workplace Data (2015, methodology): “…in classroom activities using qualitative (Facione 1990) and quantitative critical thinking (Holmes et al. 2015), and to participate in research projects relevant to real-world problems under supervision of professional scientists such as undergraduate research programs (Russell et al. 2007).”
Undergraduate research experiences support science career decisions and active learning. (2007, background): “Although most of the students report a continuation with a plan to go on in science, relatively few students are attracted to begin this plan (although Russell et al. (2007) report a follow-up survey in which 29% of the respondents indicated a “new” interest in graduate education).”
Assessment of Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences: A Meeting Report (2014, neutral): “These calls are based on a growing body of research that documents how students benefit from research experiences (Kremer and Bringle, 1990; Kardash, 2000; Rauckhorst et al., 2001; Hathaway et al., 2002; Bauer and Bennett, 2003; Lopatto, 2004, 2007; Lopatto and Tobias, 2010; Seymour et al., 2004; Hu”
Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences Can Make Scientific Research More Inclusive (2014, background): “Participation in independent research experiences has been shown to increase interest in pursuing a PhD (Seymour et al., 2004; Russell et al., 2007) and seems to be particularly beneficial for students from histor ically underrepresented backgrounds (Villarejo et al., 2008; Jones et al., 2010;…”
Toward a Holistic View of Undergraduate Research Experiences: An Exploratory Study of Impact on Graduate/Postdoctoral Mentors (2009, background): “... experiences is noted in the Boyer Commission’s call (1998) for the promotion of undergraduate learning ‘‘based on discovery guided by mentoring rather than on the transmission of information.’’ A growing body of research documents the positive outcomes of research experiences for undergraduates ”
The Relationship between Undergraduate Research Participation and Subsequent Research Performance of Early Career STEM Graduate Students (2015, neutral): “858 The Journal of Higher Education Our findings, in concert with those of others (Fechheimer et al., 2010; Russell et al., 2007; Zydney et al., 2013), indicate that undergraduate research engagement spanning multiple semesters is most beneficial to student development.”
