Abstract
Scholarship of Discovery and Beyond: Thinking About Multiple Forms of Scholarship and Elements of Project-Based Learning to Engage Undergraduates in Publishable Research.
Highlights
SCHOLARSHIP OF DISCOVERYThe scholarship of discovery is the gold standard within Psychological Science. It involves engaging in research endeavors that expand our knowledge (Boyer, 1990)
Research indicates that implementing policies that encourage multiple forms of scholarship increases the likelihood that faculty: diversify the types of scholarship they engage in, feel satisfied, and want to stay at their institution (O’Meara, 2005)
Research shows that institutional effectiveness increases when polices include multiple forms of scholarship (O’Meara, 2006)
Summary
The scholarship of discovery is the gold standard within Psychological Science. It involves engaging in research endeavors that expand our knowledge (Boyer, 1990). Many psychologists run research laboratories where they engaged students in research Many articles in this special issue feature strategies that can be implemented to engage students in publishable research from a research lab perspective (Adams, 2019; Dunbar, 2019; Holmes and Roberts, 2019; Mendoza and Martone, 2019; Overman, 2019; Reavis and Thomas, 2019; Scisco et al, 2019; Stefanucci, 2019; Wood, 2019; Scherman, under review). It is important to consider the key elements of project-based learning (see above) and incorporate them into a sustained inquiry Utilizing these elements can increase student learning, motivation, engagement, and the likelihood of publishable work. These reflections help students synthesize how the project they are working on connects to other concepts they are learning (design, methods, ethics, statistics, etc.), and the reflections enable me to figure out what is working and what needs tweaking
