Description:
|
The undergraduate students participating in this project will be part of a research team consisting of graduate students in the College of Education and Human Development. The undergraduate student will be involved in different phases of the project, including a) recruiting participants; b) administering standardized assessments; c) data collection, management and preliminary analysis; d) drafting sections of a conference proposal or a journal article; and e) administrative tasks that may involve translation from English to Spanish. These experiences will not only familiarize the undergraduate student with a critical area of research and essential steps of conducting an empirical research project, but also help her or him to develop the capacity to conduct independent research in the future.
