Collaborative research is an integral part of interdisciplinary anthropological inquiry. Applied anthropological perspectives and collaborative research are instrumental in gaining greater understanding of cultural beliefs. Students from East Carolina University in the Global Understanding program obtain a broad educational background that emphasizes cultural diversity by completing a collaborative project with a student from a partner university. Collaborative projects on cross-cultural definitions of success are discussed to demonstrate the strengths and challenges of faculty–student collaborative research. Another program offered at East Carolina that is an example of faculty–student collaborative research is the Peru Study Abroad. Students engage with local community members to gather cultural data on various topics that yielded fascinating results that helped students to understand the Andean worldview. The rewards and the challenges of faculty–student collaborative work will be discussed in terms of student learning outcomes and cultural beliefs.

促进全球了解：师生合作研究的收益和挑战

协作研究是跨学科人类学探究的组成部分。应用的人类学观点和合作研究有助于加深对文化信仰的了解。来自东卡罗莱纳大学的全球理解计划的学生通过与合作伙伴大学的学生完成一项合作项目，获得了强调文化多样性的广泛教育背景。讨论了关于成功的跨文化定义的合作项目，以展示师生合作研究的优势和挑战。东卡罗莱纳州提供的另一个计划是师生合作研究的一个例子，它是“秘鲁留学”。学生与当地社区成员互动，收集有关各种主题的文化数据，产生了令人着迷的结果，有助于学生了解安第斯世界观。将根据学生的学习成果和文化信仰来讨论师生合作的回报和挑战。[高等教育，合作研究，文化信仰]
