The Cambridge Handbook of Undergraduate Research (Cambridge Handbooks in Education)

Undergraduate Research (UR) can be defined as an investigation into a specific topic within a discipline by an undergraduate student that makes an original contribution to the field. It has become a major consideration among research universities around the world, in order to advance both academic teaching and research productivity. Edited by an international team of world authorities in UR, this Handbook is the first truly comprehensive and systematic account of undergraduate research, which brings together different international approaches, with attention to both theory and practice. It is split into sections covering different countries, disciplines, and methodologies. It also provides an overview of current research and theoretical perspectives on undergraduate research as well as future developmental prospects of UR. Written in an engaging style, yet wide-ranging in its scope, it is essential reading for anyone wishing to broaden their understanding of how undergraduate research is implemented worldwide. This book: (1) Provides a comprehensive overview of undergraduate research worldwide; (2) Systematically incorporates the current state of research and experience with undergraduate research, as well as an evaluation of its prospects; and (3) Creates the basis to further develop undergraduate research globally 03.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 1 04.0_pp_v_x_Contents 5 05.0_pp_xi_xi_Figures 11
