A Two-Step Program for Undergraduate Students to Gain Authentic Experience in the Research Process1. IntroductionThe value of undergraduate participation in authentic research, especially in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, has been the subject of various studies overthe past two decades. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (2008) identifiedit as one of ten high impact educational experiences. The Council on Undergraduate Research(2005) termed authentic research participation as “the pedagogy of the 21st century.” This isperhaps not surprising, as STEM students report both affective and cognitive gains from theirundergraduate research experiences. Increased knowledge of how
