Paid Undergraduate RA Position with Academic Learning, Teaching, and Student Achievement Research Group
The College of Behavioral & Social Sciences and the Department of Psychology are pleased to announce another Emerging BSOS Scholar position for the Fall 2012 semester. The selected scholar will work with Drs. Roberts, Curtis and Stangor and the Academic Learning, Teaching, and Student Achievement Research Group.
Description:The goal of the research group is to apply psychological principles to the evaluation and improvement of undergraduate education. Specifically, we monitor how psychology students progress through our major, how they are influenced by the courses they take, how they respond to difficulties that they face, and what they learn during their time here. Although the knowledge gained through this research is initially about psychology majors, we expect that our findings will apply to all college students and we will attempt as we go to generalize, and perhaps to study students from other majors as well.
The selected scholar will commit at least 10 hours per week during the Fall 2012 semester and earn a total of $1500. He or she will attend the weekly research team meetings and will be involved in all aspects of our research, including studying and preparing background readings, creating and administering questionnaires, coding responses, conducing qualitative and quantitative analyses, and writing and presenting research reports.
