Costigan (2020)discussed the use of two CBR projects to advance student learning in research and courseworkand illustrate to students what it means for research to have an impact. Mello-Goldner (2019)described the integration of CBR in a two-semester course and its impact on undergraduatestudents. Through the engagement with external community organizations, students wereprovided with a larger and more varied data set. In addition, students completed a conference-style poster and learned how to present results to the college community.Despite the rewards that come with adopting or implementing CBR, it can be challenging tomeet community needs and university

Beforelearning can occur, students’ prior knowledge must first be brought to the surface so that currentunderstanding can be examined, and misconceptions corrected in order to create a solidfoundation upon which new knowledge can be built.
