The Ultimate LEAP: Best Practices for Integrating HIPs into Coursework
Conference Tracks
Learning Theories and Pedagogy – Research
Abstract
High-impact practices (HIPs) have shown to increase students’ chances of getting career-oriented jobs upon graduation. This session will discuss best practices for integrating two HIPs, undergraduate research and community-based engaged learning into coursework. Intentional integration of undergraduate research has resulted in peer reviewed publications which one might consider as an ultimate outcome of these practices. This presentation will provide insight into the process of developing undergraduate courses based on LEAP that successfully integrates HIPs into curriculum at a liberal arts college. The challenges, possible remedies, and the student perspective on the educational benefits gained will be discussed.
