Implementing Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences at an HBCU
Conference Tracks
Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
Benefits of undergraduate research include research related skills and transferrable skills. Undergraduate research also supports students’ interest in a chosen discipline. Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are research opportunities that are embedded into the regular course curriculum. This has important implications to the scholarship of teaching and learning as we strive to develop strategies to enhance student learning.
At Johnson C. Smith University, a historically black college in Charlotte, NC, we launched a pilot program to increase CURE offerings for students. Our research is in progress and our poster discusses some of our preliminary findings of our CURE approach.
