The high‐impact practice of undergraduate research has expanded exponentially over the past 2 decades and has become a much more integrated pursuit across all levels of the educational landscape. Such a rapid expansion and diversity of approaches to these programs have resulted in the need to better understand and evaluate their efficacy in all disciplines. The fisheries profession has long been a leader in providing outstanding career preparation, which includes providing opportunities for students to engage in undergraduate research. To maintain this distinction, it is imperative that we as a field continuously evaluate how our current mentoring practices align with academic pedagogy recommended in the broader literature. Here, we review the extensive literature on undergraduate mentoring and construct a set of success criteria that represents a temporal sequence of best practices in undergraduate mentoring. We also present the results of a survey of fisheries faculty that was undertaken in order to understand what undergraduate mentoring practices are currently being used in our field. Collectively, this information can be used by individuals, departments, or institutions as a practical framework with which to evaluate and improve current mentoring programs or as a foundational starting point from which to design and implement new mentoring programs.

大学渔业和水生科学专业本科生研究指导的当代视角

在过去的20年中，影响深远的本科生研究实践呈指数级增长，并且已成为跨所有教育领域的更加综合的追求。这些计划的方法如此迅速的扩展和多样化，导致需要更好地了解和评估其在所有学科中的效力。长期以来，渔业专业一直是提供出色职业准备的领导者，其中包括为学生提供从事本科研究的机会。为了保持这种区别，作为一个领域，我们必须不断评估我们当前的指导实践如何与更广泛的文献中推荐的学术教学法保持一致。这里，我们回顾了有关本科生辅导的广泛文献，并构建了一套成功的标准，这些标准代表了本科生辅导的最佳实践的时间序列。我们还介绍了渔业学系的一项调查结果，目的是了解我们领域目前正在使用哪些本科生的指导实践。总体而言，个人，部门或机构可以将此信息用作评估和改进当前指导计划的实用框架，也可以用作设计和实施新指导计划的基础。我们还介绍了渔业学系的一项调查结果，目的是了解我们领域目前正在使用哪些本科生的指导实践。总体而言，个人，部门或机构可以将此信息用作评估和改进当前指导计划的实用框架，也可以用作设计和实施新指导计划的基础。我们还介绍了渔业学系的一项调查结果，目的是了解我们领域目前正在使用哪些本科生的指导实践。总体而言，个人，部门或机构可以将此信息用作评估和改进当前指导计划的实用框架，也可以用作设计和实施新指导计划的基础。
