A Structured Research Experience
A Structured Research Experience
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) focused on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) provide students the opportunity to explore how people learn concepts in fields such as chemistry. In these projects, students investigate questions related to how to improve teaching and learning, collect and analyze data from educational contexts, and draw conclusions to inform evidence-based instruction. These experiences are embedded within the context of a structured course designed to support students in making intellectual contributions to the broader research literature.
