Amy Henderson, associate professor of economics, and Emek Köse, associate professor of mathematics, recently published “The Role of Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences in Extending Transformative Learning to All Students,” in the Journal of Transformative Learning.
Using case studies of various course-based undergraduate research opportunities that delivered transformative learning experiences to average students, Henderson and Köse argue that that shared elements of well-designed course-based undergraduate research experiences, including instructor scaffolding and collaborative dialogue, serve both to make undergraduate research more widely accessible, and to foster the achievement of a transformative learning experience.
The Journal of Transformative Education (JTED) is a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal focused on advancing the understanding, practice, and experience of transformative education.
