The scholars pressed that this distinctionis crucial to avoid conflating the broader research experience with the specific activities carriedout in a research laboratory setting [19]. Such insights underscore the importance of recognizingthat research experiences can encompass various activities beyond traditional lab work,contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the research landscape thatundergraduates navigate.MethodsThe approach used in this study employed

These skills are required for STEM-relatedcareers, ranging from engineers visualizing how components are assembled, how a circuitdiagram can be represented on a circuit board, scientists visualizing molecular structures, andcomputer programmers visualizing the structure of the code they are writing.

For example, a learner may have varyinglearning styles, such as visual, auditory, or reading/writing preferences, which can influence howthey absorb and process information. Some may prefer hands-on example focused activities, whileothers may prefer reading text books to comprehend complex concepts. Additionally, cognitiveabilities like memory, attention span, and problem-solving skills can influence how learners en-gage with educational materials.
