Preserving the positive student outcomes of CUREs through disruption: implications for remote learning

Key Points

Partially remote CUREs demonstrate comparable student outcomes to face-to-face CUREs.
Findings indicate that maintaining CUREs in remote contexts can support learning effectively.
Evaluation involved analyzing changes from in-person to remote instruction across several semesters.
Implications highlight the adaptability of educational methods in response to disruptions.

Abstract

We evaluated how faculty adapted course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) to remote instruction and compared student outcomes with CUREs offered in-person in prior semesters. Our findings suggest that partially remote CUREs can be as effective as face-to-face CUREs and provide evidence supporting the potential benefits of CUREs in hybrid or remote learning contexts.
