Reflections
• Responses were fairly consistent --- except for the responses to questions 2, 3, and 8.
• For questions 2, 3, and 8, responses were distributed across the continuum from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
![Page 9: A Survey on Undergraduate Research An addendum to: Infusing Research into the Undergraduate Curriculum: From First-Year to Graduation CAPCSD 2014 Storkel,](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071805/56649ce55503460f949b35e4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. I would rather not be a researcher.
• The mean response was 3.13, and the mode was 3.
• However, students responded at both ends of the continuum.
• The inconsistent responses probably reflect the students’ lack of research experience.

3. Research is not important in my chosen field of study.
• The mean response was 4.3, and the mode was 5.
• However, student’s responses were distributed from 2-5.
• Again, the students’ lack of research experience and limited knowledge regarding evidence-based practices are probably responsible for the uncertainty.

8. Research is easy to do.
• The mean response was 3.5, and the mode was 4.
• However, responses were distributed across the continuum from 1-5.
• Again, responses were inconsistent. Their lack of knowledge and experience is a likely cause.

Postscript
• In 2010, Mary Shapiro reported her use of research assignments in an undergraduate introduction to linguistics course.
• Her goal was to change attitudes.• The students engaged in limited and flawed
research activities, but the discussions that followed were designed to recognize the limitations and flaws.

• Though their research experiences were limited and flawed, the students’ attitudes about research changed for the better.
