Exploring Gender Differences in the Benefits of Undergraduate Research Experi...ADVANCE-Purdue
This presentation examines the effect of gender on student benefits from Undergraduate Research Experiences (UREs) in STEM disciplines. Much research has documented the benefits of UREs to students. For example, UREs have been shown to enhance students’ research skills, research self-self-efficacy, and understanding of scientific processes, aspirations for graduate education and interests in research oriented STEM careers. While the research is convincing that participation in UREs is related to positive educational outcomes for students in general, little is known about the effect of gender in relationship to URE benefits on students. The few studies that have examined the influence of gender on student benefits from UREs have generated conflicting results. Some studies (e.g., Lopatto, 2004) have reported no significant gender differences in the benefits of URE, while other studies (e.g., Kardash, 2000) documented that male students reported higher gains in their abilities to generate research hypotheses than their female counterparts. Although URE experiences have been shown as effective tools in enlarging the STEM pipeline, harnessing its efficacy to enhance the persistence of female students in STEM disciplines requires that more studies be conducted to clarify gender differences in accrued gains from UREs. This presentation addresses the identified gaps in the literature by investigating gender differences in students’ self-reported pre and post participation levels of research skills, understanding of the scientific process, research self-efficacy and aspirations for graduate education.
Data for the study come from 52 students (Female=32; Male=19) that participated in Purdue University’s Discovery Park’s Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI) program in the summer or fall semesters of 2009 academic session. Interns completed a multi-section pre-post survey instrument requesting them to indicate the extent to which they agreed/disagreed with four Likert-items regarding their research skills (e.g., “I have the ability to have a successful career as a researcher”); six items regarding their understanding of scientific processes (e.g., “understanding of how to formulate a research question”) and eleven items regarding their research skills (e.g., “documenting a research procedure.”) We employed independent sample t-tests to examine gender differences in students’ pre- and post DURI aspirations for graduate schools, research self-efficacy, research skills and understanding of scientific processes. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in any of the variables considered. Further, we calculated accrued gains/benefits from URE by subtracting the pre-participation from the post-participation values of the variables of interest. We observed no statistically significant gender differences in the variables considered. The results suggest that male and female students received similar levels of benefits from the experience.
Our presentation will discuss the importance, implications and applications of the findings to the issues of gender disparity in STEM disciplines. For example, earlier studies have attributed the attrition of women in STEM disciplines to the “abstract” nature of scientific knowledge and concepts. Given that UREs provide students the opportunities to have “hands-on” learning experiences and to understand the societal relevance of their research; we submit that UREs may be effective tools for enhancing the persistence of female students in STEM disciplines.

Assignment Brief
Introduction:
Relevant For All Tasks 1- 4
Research is a process of inquiry about problems that do not have immediate solutions. The world is full
of problems that require research-informed solutions. The purpose of research in business and
management contexts is to inform action and decision-making, while enhancing knowledge on how best
to address problems emerging in organisations. A systematic investigation is required through
qualitative and/or quantitative methodology in order to generate results (primary or secondary data) that
can help to inform actions and decision-making. The choice of appropriate methods for data collection
(e.g interviews and questionnaires) and data analysis is critical in order to produce useful information
and knowledge which is applicable for the organisation and other settings. High quality research
findings have implications for policy, practice and further research. Publishing results from research
studies in secondary sources such as books, journal articles business reports and on-line based
sources make it easier for the global community to access useful information and knowledge needed for
decision-making in business and management contexts (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2009).
.
Pursuing a research project will be a challenging and rewarding experience. This opportunity enables
you to carry out an in-depth original study on a topic of interest.
In this module, you are expected to develop skills of independent inquiry and critical analysis by
undertaking a research investigation on topic of interest within a business, management or
organisational context. You will be required to think about a problematic issue or problem in an
organisation that you want to investigate and conduct primary and secondary research accordingly, in
order to produce findings that should be analysed and clearly presented using appropriate methods.
The TASKS will include the following ::

AIM(S)
The skills needed for higher education are ultimately gained through studying at that level; they evolve and mature through practice, trial and error, feedback from others and student reflection. This module aims to provide students with the underlying study/research strategies and software skills that can accelerate that learning process. Students will be encouraged to develop a reflective, active, positive approach to learning, and to take responsibility for their own learning. Such skills promote a deeper understanding of the topics studied throughout the programme; they support lifelong learning, and are the transferable skills desired in the employment context.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon the successful completion of this module, the student should be able to demonstrate the ability to:
1. Analyse the published literature relating to a management related topic and produce a fully referenced management report
2. Design and deploy a range of primary data collection methods.
3. Evaluate and interpret qualitative and quantitative data and present the findings to specialist and non-specialist audiences
4. Evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches to information gathering.
