为教师: Involving Students in 研究
- Clearly define expectations.
- Clearly define milestones and metrics for success.
- Nurture the student researcher toward increased independence: At the front end of a project, a significant amount of guidance from you is expected. But as the project progresses, the student should be encouraged to begin to take ownership of the work and take an active role in guiding it themselves.
- Build interpersonal respect and trust: Create an open environment for questions and conversation. Set aside weekly meeting times. Provide direct and timely feedback. Communicate that the student’s work is a priority for you.
- Promote shared power: Offer responses that remind the student that the work is their own. Reinforce that the student is a valued member of a research group or team.
The Office of Undergraduate 研究 (OUR) is soliciting proposals from U of I faculty in any discipline for OUR Curricular Development Grants. These are faculty awards for up to $5000 in project expenses of which $2500 may be applied toward a faculty stipend.
The intent of the OUR Curricular Development Grant is to support faculty members who propose to integrate original research efforts into an undergraduate course, with a goal of at least half the course being devoted to students conducting research and presenting research conclusions.
