Engaging Students in Real Science, eBooks, eBook Download (PDF), 1. Auflage, Undergraduate research enhances the learning experience ofstudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.Undergraduate Research in the Sciences offers a groundbreaking andpractical research-based book on the topic. This comprehensiveresource addresses how undergraduate research benefitsundergraduate participants, including those populations that areunderrepresented in the sciences; compares its benefits with othertypes of educational activities and experiences; and assesses itslong-term value to students and faculty as both a scholarly andeducational endeavor. In laying out the processes by which these benefits areachieved, this important book can assist faculty and programdirectors with practical guidance for design and evaluation of bothnew and existing undergraduate research programs. Praise for Undergraduate Research in the Sciences "This meticulous, definitive study of the effects of workingwith a faculty member on research as an undergraduate confirms theoverall value of the experience by taking us deep into the mindsand actions of participants--both faculty and students. As aresult we now have many more compelling reasons to get morestudents involved with research mentors and ways to optimize thebenefits for all parties."--George D. Kuh, Chancellor'sProfessor and director, Indiana University Center for PostsecondaryResearch "This timely book offers a unique, comprehensive analysis ofundergraduate research in the sciences, based on the voices ofcollege students and faculty mentors who have participated in thesevoyages of discovery. As our nation struggles to train morescientists, this book will be a valuable resource for designingundergraduate research experiences that can build our country'scapacity for discovery and innovation."--Arthur B. Ellis, ViceChancellor for Research, University of California, San Diego "The text is written in a lucid and engaging style and will be avaluable guide to policymakers, academic administrators, andfaculty members who want to find ways to engage undergraduates inthe 'real work' of investigation."--Judith A. Ramaley,president, Winona State University "This book is a 'must-read' for anyone who directsundergraduates in research. It presents an impressive and rigorousbody of work that brings fresh insights into the field ofundergraduate research. The next generation of scientists willbenefit greatly from the findings and recommendations!"--JoHandelsman, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, YaleUniversity, [PU: John Wiley & Sons], Seiten: 320, John Wiley & Sons, 2010<
