Science education studies have shown that a sequence of course-based research experiences has many positive effects for undergraduates. To maximize those benefits, we created a training program for the instructors (aka Research Educators). The program guides them in how to move students early in their college years through the process of science such that students then can successfully apply their learning to conduct real research projects. The key to instructors' training is creating a supportive community of practice in which everyone participates, including by taking leading roles.
科学教育研究表明,一系列基于课程的研究经验对本科生有许多积极影响。为了最大限度地发挥这些益处,我们为指导教师(即研究教育者)创建了一个培训计划。该计划指导他们如何引导学生在大学早期阶段经历科学研究过程,以便学生能够成功地将所学知识应用于进行真正的研究项目。指导教师培训的关键是创建一个支持性的实践共同体,每个人都参与其中,包括担任领导角色。
