Despite the many benefits of involving undergraduates in research and the growing number of undergraduate research programs,
few scholars have investigated the factors that affect faculty members’ decisions to involve undergraduates in their research
projects. We investigated the individual factors and institutional contexts that predict faculty members’ likelihood of engaging
undergraduates in their research project(s). Using data from the Higher Education Research Institute’s 2007–2008 Faculty Survey,
we employ hierarchical generalized linear modeling to analyze data from 4,832 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM) faculty across 194 institutions to examine how organizational citizenship behavior theory and social exchange theory
relate to mentoring students in research. Key findings show that faculty who work in the life sciences and those who receive
government funding for their research are more likely to involve undergraduates in their research project(s). In addition,
faculty at liberal arts or historically Black colleges are significantly more likely to involve undergraduate students in
research. Implications for advancing undergraduate research opportunities are discussed. 相似文献

Over the past several decades, one of the most significant changes in the delivery of postsecondary education involves the
dramatic increase in the use of contingent or part-time faculty. Although the increased use of part-time faculty within higher
education makes sense from an administrative point of view, its use does not come without criticism. With community colleges
representing a more convenient, affordable, and flexible educational option for a number of students, particularly those from
disadvantaged backgrounds, examining how exposure to part-time faculty relates to students’ academic goals represents an important
area of inquiry. This study draws from social and human capital frameworks and uses hierarchical generalized linear modeling
(HGLM) to examine how exposure to part-time faculty relates to community college students’ likelihood of transferring to a
four-year college or university. Findings suggest that students tend to be significantly less likely to transfer as their
exposure to part-time faculty increases. 相似文献

The lack of academic engagement in introductory science courses is considered by some to be a primary reason why students
switch out of science majors. This study employed a sequential, explanatory mixed methods approach to provide a richer understanding
of the relationship between student engagement and introductory science instruction. Quantitative survey data were drawn from
2,873 students within 73 introductory science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses across 15 colleges
and universities, and qualitative data were collected from 41 student focus groups at eight of these institutions. The findings
indicate that students tended to be more engaged in courses where the instructor consistently signaled an openness to student
questions and recognizes her/his role in helping students succeed. Likewise, students who reported feeling comfortable asking
questions in class, seeking out tutoring, attending supplemental instruction sessions, and collaborating with other students
in the course were also more likely to be engaged. Instructional implications for improving students’ levels of academic engagement
are discussed. 相似文献

丹尼尔论远程教育基础(下) 总被引：3，自引：1，他引：3
该文考查了远程教育的基础,它的发展历史和它赖以发展进化的技术。历史上有两种传统的远程教育:远程课堂教学和函授教学。它们具有不同的教育学特征和成本结构。然而,新一代技术即知识媒体,作为计算机技术、电子通信技术和认知科学汇同结合的产物,正在将远程教育的两大传统结合在一起。知识媒体将通过进一步发展远程教育对大学的革新作出重大贡献。 相似文献

Using longitudinal data from the UCLA Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) and Your First College Year (YFCY)
surveys, this study examines predictors of the likelihood that science-oriented students would participate in a health science
undergraduate research program during the first year of college. The key predictors of participation in health science research
programs are students’ reliance on peer networks and whether campuses provide structured opportunities for first-year students
even though only 12% of freshmen in the sample engaged in this activity. These experiences are particularly important for
Black students. The findings inform efforts to orient students at an early stage, particularly under-represented minorities,
toward biomedical and behavioral science research careers.

The Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences Network (CUREnet) was initiated in 2012 with funding from the National Science Foundation program for Research Coordination Networks in Undergraduate Biology Education. CUREnet aims to address topics, problems, and opportunities inherent to integrating research experiences into undergraduate courses. During CUREnet meetings and discussions, it became apparent that there is need for a clear definition of what constitutes a CURE and systematic exploration of what makes CUREs meaningful in terms of student learning. Thus, we assembled a small working group of people with expertise in CURE instruction and assessment to: 1) draft an operational definition of a CURE, with the aim of defining what makes a laboratory course or project a “research experience”; 2) summarize research on CUREs, as well as findings from studies of undergraduate research internships that would be useful for thinking about how students are influenced by participating in CUREs; and 3) identify areas of greatest need with respect to CURE assessment, and directions for future research on and evaluation of CUREs. This report summarizes the outcomes and recommendations of this meeting.
