ABSTRACT

Introduction

Research skill development is a current need in music therapy education. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) may address this need. The purpose of this study was (a) to replicate a CURE for students enrolled in a required music psychology course at a university in the United States, (b) to measure student outcomes, and (c) to compare results with the original study.

Method

Students (N = 17) completed the Undergraduate Research Student Self-Assessment (URSSA) and the Research Skill Development Questionnaire (RSDQ), as outcome measures. Likert-type items on the URSSA were analyzed using descriptive statistics; open-ended responses were evaluated through content analysis. Independent-sample t tests were used to compare average scores in the URSSA subscales (Thinking Like a Scientist, Personal Gains, Research Skills, and Attitudes and Behaviors) between the original and replication study.

Results

No significant differences were found between the original and current studies, indicating the replication of results. Similar to the original study, open-ended responses indicated an interest in graduate school, greater understanding of research, appreciation of hands-on experience, and plans to use research in their career. For suggestions for improvement, most students in both studies indicated an interest in being more involved and learning more about statistics. In the current study, students’ RSDQ pre and posttest subscale scores showed significant improvement in Research Dispositions (paired-sample t tests).

Discussion

These results indicate the feasibility of using CURE projects to support research skill development and the feasibility of replicating a protocolized experience in a university program with different research traditions and resources.

为音乐学生复制基于课程的本科研究经验

摘要

介绍

研究技能的发展是音乐疗法教育中的当前需求。基于课程的本科研究经验（CURE）可以满足这一需求。这项研究的目的是（a）为在美国一所大学就读音乐心理学课程的学生复制CURE，（b）评估学生的学习成绩，以及（c）将结果与原始研究进行比较。

方法

学生（N = 17）完成了本科生研究者自我评估（URSSA）和研究技能发展问卷（RSDQ），作为结果指标。使用描述性统计数据分析了URSSA上的Likert型项目；开放式回应通过内容分析进行评估。使用独立样本t检验比较原始研究和重复研究之间的URSSA子量表（像科学家一样思考，个人收获，研究技能以及态度和行为）的平均分数。

结果

原始研究与当前研究之间未发现显着差异，表明结果重复。与原始研究类似，开放式回答表明对研究生院感兴趣，对研究有更多的了解，对动手经验的欣赏，并计划在他们的职业生涯中使用研究。对于改进的建议，两项研究中的大多数学生都表示有兴趣参与进来并更多地了解统计学。在当前的研究中，学生的RSDQ考试前和考试后子量表分数显示出研究倾向（配对样本t检验）有显着提高。

讨论区

这些结果表明使用CURE项目支持研究技能开发的可行性，以及在具有不同研究传统和资源的大学课程中复制协议化经验的可行性。
