Summary
This study developed a model for assessing course-based research experiences (CRE). It balances grading with feedback to support student learning and persistence in science.
Area of Science:
- Science Education
- Undergraduate Research
Background:
- Course-based research experiences (CRE) engage students in authentic scientific inquiry.
- Effective assessment is crucial for student learning and persistence in science.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a model for assessing and grading students in course-based research experiences.
- To integrate assessment aims and practices with existing CRE instructional models.
Main Methods:
- Collected and analyzed assessment aims and practices from experienced CRE instructors.
- Defined four key assessment aims: laboratory work/scientific thinking, concept/skill mastery, scientific communication, and metacognition of learning.
- Integrated assessment practices with CRE instructional models.
Main Results:
- Identified four primary aims for CRE assessment.
- Developed a set of assessment practices aligned with each aim.
- Proposed an assessment program balancing feedback for research engagement with grading requirements.
Conclusions:
- The developed assessment model supports student engagement in research.
- It delicately balances the need for ongoing research facilitation with final grading.
- This approach upholds the core aims of CRE education without undermining student success.

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

01:14Steps in the Modeling Process

Albert Bandura's theory of observational learning identifies four critical processes: attention, retention, motor reproduction, and reinforcement or motivation.
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...

02:01Group Design
8.9K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

01:20Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation
1.7K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
