Description
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE’s) allow students to participate in research. In this project we measured increases in analytical skills, content knowledge, and attitudinal measures to determine predictors of student learning gains. We found an increase in analytical skills and content knowledge. Self-efficacy and first-generation status significantly predict learning gains.
