The preregistration of research plans and hypotheses may prevent publication bias and questionable research practices. We incorporated a modified version of the preregistration process into an undergraduate capstone research course. Students completed a standard preregistration form during the planning stages of their research projects as well as surveys about their knowledge of preregistration. Based on survey results, our senior-level psychology students lacked knowledge of importance of the preregistration movement in the sciences but could anticipate some of its benefits. Our review of the completed preregistration assignment suggested that students struggle with data analysis decision-making but generally perceive preregistration as a helpful planning tool. We discuss the value of a preregistration assignment for generating discussions of research practice and ethics.

研究预注册作为本科心理学课程的教学和学习工具

预先注册研究计划和假设可以防止发表偏见和有问题的研究实践。我们将预注册过程的修改版本纳入了本科毕业研究课程。学生在研究项目的规划阶段完成了标准的预注册表格，并调查了他们对预注册知识的了解。根据调查结果，我们的高级心理学学生缺乏科学领域预注册运动的重要性的知识，但可以预见到它的一些好处。我们对已完成的预注册作业的审查表明，学生在数据分析决策方面挣扎，但通常认为预注册是一种有用的规划工具。
