LeFebvre, Rebecca – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2023
Introductory political science courses are considered Gateway courses to student success in college, yet those courses rarely use high impact practices. This study investigated student-led research projects based on the idea of a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) as a means to increase students' self-assessed learning gains and…

Battaglia, Samantha Jude; Echegoyen, Lourdes E.; Diaz-Martinez, Laura A. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Most studies on the benefits of participation in undergraduate research (UGR) use data from student participants in undergraduate research programs (URPs), which offer a limited number of positions. In reality, however, the majority of UGR students participate in undergraduate research not in programs (URNPs). The authors conducted an…

Stiwich, Kendra D.; Ross, Victoria – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Many postsecondary institutions host a knowledge dissemination event for students to publicly share their scholarly, research, and creative works. These events improve student communication skills and self-efficacy. The authors propose that these events also can affect students' sense of belonging. CREATE is Vancouver Island University's…

Capaldi, Mindy; Bugajski, Kristi; Goebbert, Bonnie Dahlke; Watters, Michael; Slattery, Michelle – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Student retention is important to any university, especially keeping commuter students who are traditionally less anchored in campus life. Even more at risk, given the leaky STEM pipeline, are STEM commuter students. In 2016, Valparaiso University launched the Establishing Practices Integrating Commuter Students (EPIC) program, centered around…

Kuan, Jennifer; Sedlacek, Quentin C. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have historically been associated with STEM, but are expanding into other fields. CUREs may benefit undergraduate business majors, but some students do not perceive "doing research" as part of business. The authors ask whether a business CURE can lead students to begin…
