The Students-as-Partners (SaP) paradigm has been widely recognized for its enrichment of pedagogy and research, particularly in the scholarship of teaching and learning; in a time of acute disruption to higher education, the SaP model may further provide key insights into the adaptation of high impact teaching practices, although the changing conditions of partnership require close attention. This paper reports on the qualitative evaluation of a multi-campus, hybrid course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) delivered in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis of student reflection data was conducted by a research team of two faculty and four CURE-student participants in a process informed by the Students-as-Partners model. In addition to identifying student-reported challenges, solutions, and educational benefits associated with a hybrid CURE, we reflect on both the unique opportunities, and difficulties, offered by student-faculty partnerships formed and conducted in a virtual meeting space.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
