概括
基于课程的本科研究经验 (CUREs) 可能取代传统的本科研究经验 (UREs),因为这两个环境中的学生都从事类似的研究任务. 无论是CURE还是URE的学生都可以在他们的研究活动中从更多的互动参与中受益.
科学领域:
- 在STEM教育研究研究中.
- 高等教育教学的教学.
背景情况:
- 本科研究经验 (UREs) 是有价值的,但在学生参与方面有所不同.
- 基于课程的本科研究经验 (CUREs) 提供了一个结构化的替代方案,但它们与UREs的等价性仍在争论中.
研究的目的:
- 为了比较学生在CUREs和UREs所承担的研究任务.
- 评估使用生态瞬间评估 (EMA) 进行本科研究的可行性.
主要方法:
- 利用生态瞬间评估 (EMA) 在九所大学进行实时数据收集.
- 通过文本调查收集了538名学生 (1队列) 的3537条答案和711名学生 (2队列) 的10862条答案.
- 应用定性分析和自然语言处理 (NLP) 与机器学习用于任务分类.
主要成果:
- 学生的任务被分为11个主题和4个主题:实验,数据收集,数据分析和通信.
- CURE和URE的学生在相似的比例上完成了类似的研究任务.
- 学生报告了积极和建设性的参与,但在他们的研究任务中互动参与有限.
结论:
- 在吸引学生参与大学环境中的核心研究活动方面,CUREs似乎是URE的可行替代品.
- 无论是CURE还是URE学生都可能从增加的互动参与中获得额外的好处.
- EMA和主题建模是研究经验和分析大型文本数据集的有效方法.

Naturalistic Observations
16.9K
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...

Cross-Sectional Research
12.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Surveys
16.6K
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.

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.

Archival Research
17.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Group Design
10.1K
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...
