These studies have yielded positive results on group basedteaching. This success has been attributed mostly to the increased peer interaction and activeparticipation during the lessons. On the other hand, there is considerable evidence collected byresearchers in physics teaching and learning that traditional instructional methods - largelylecture and problem solving - are not effective in promoting conceptual learning in physics.There is also widespread evidence that active learning methods enhance the conceptualknowledge of students8-10. In this paper we investigate the impact of cooperative

IntroductionUndergraduate research is a high-impact practice leading to student success, engagement,interest in higher education, and skills development [1] [2]. There are two well-known modelsfor incorporating research experiences in a program: Undergraduate Research Experiences(UREs) and Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) [3]. UREs representthe apprentice model. They feature individual students in faculty research laboratories andprovide the opportunity for one-on-one mentoring. On the other hand, CUREs are embedded intothe curriculum and are available
