Introduction:

Undergraduate research experiences prepare students for graduate training or employment.

Statement of problem:

At many teaching-intensive universities, there is a greater demand for research experiences than there are independent study opportunities. Students from typically underrepresented backgrounds may also be unaware of a department’s undergraduate research pipeline of independent study, honor’s theses, and internal research funding.

Literature review:

Course-based research contributes to diversity and inclusivity in access to undergraduate research experiences, especially at teaching-intensive universities. Course-based research is often integrated into methods courses, but not content courses.

Teaching implications:

I present practical ways to integrate research projects into courses. I stress the importance of testing theory, teaching open-science practices, and providing opportunities for students to present professionally. I also provide examples of implementing group research projects in content courses.

Conclusion:

Implementing course-based research projects, especially at teaching-intensive universities, can expand access to psychological science by providing valuable research opportunities for many students. Instructors can also benefit by intertwining their teaching, mentoring, and research goals. Future research should focus on experimentally testing learning outcomes.

通过使用基于课程的研究项目来增加对心理科学的参与：测试理论、使用开放科学实践和专业展示研究

介绍：

本科研究经历让学生为研究生培训或就业做好准备。

问题说明：

在许多教学密集型大学，与独立学习机会相比，对研究经验的需求更大。来自通常代表性不足的背景的学生也可能不知道一个系的本科独立研究、荣誉论文和内​​部研究资助的研究渠道。

文献评论：

基于课程的研究有助于获得本科研究经验的多样性和包容性，尤其是在教学密集型大学。基于课程的研究通常被整合到方法课程中，而不是内容课程中。

教学意义：

我提出了将研究项目整合到课程中的实用方法。我强调测试理论、教授开放科学实践以及为学生提供专业展示机会的重要性。我还提供了在内容课程中实施小组研究项目的示例。

结论：

实施基于课程的研究项目，尤其是在教学密集型大学，可以通过为许多学生提供宝贵的研究机会来扩大对心理科学的了解。教师还可以通过将他们的教学、指导和研究目标交织在一起而受益。未来的研究应侧重于通过实验测试学习成果。
