Tóm tắt

Expectations for undergraduate research are increasing at many liberal arts colleges and faculty-student collaboration is increasingly encouraged. Faculty investment is more likely when faculty research goals also are facilitated. To simultaneously meet faculty scholarship goals and student learning needs, we reviewed five standard options: in-class projects, research-based classes, paid assistants, research volunteers, and the honor's thesis, examining how each can enhance faculty productivity along with student learning. Specific examples demonstrate how undergraduate research goals and faculty development can be simultaneously encouraged. Results from on-line surveys of undergraduate psychology majors (n = 81) and psychology faculty (n = 21) indicate that students and faculty share favorable opinions of each of these options. Thus student-faculty research may provide mutual benefits. © NAJP.
