Abstract

Undergraduate research benefits students by strengthening skills, providing professional growth, and improving retention. Yet significant barriers exist, including low awareness of opportunities, restrictive cultural norms, and resource constraints. The proliferation of online education potentially increases barriers, both real and perceived. This study compared participation rates and perceived barriers between undergraduate distance and traditional students. Survey results indicated no significant differences in self-reported participation or overall interest in research. Despite inherent structural limitations of online education, there were no significant differences in the respondents’ perceptions of access to opportunities, physical resources, or human resources. Significant differences were seen regarding awareness of research opportunities. Although institution-specific moderating factors may influence results, this information is valuable for strategic planning aimed at increasing opportunities and awareness for undergraduates.

网上和传统学生参与度的比较及对本科生研究的看法
本科生研究通过加强技能、提供专业成长和提高保留率使学生受益。然而,存在着重大障碍,包括对机会的认识不足、文化规范的限制和资源限制。在线教育的普及可能会增加现实和感知的障碍。这项研究比较了本科生和传统学生之间的参与率和感知障碍。调查结果表明,在自我报告的参与度或对研究的总体兴趣方面没有显著差异。尽管在线教育存在固有的结构性限制,但受访者对获得机会、物质资源或人力资源的看法没有显著差异。在对研究机会的认识方面存在显著差异。尽管机构特定的调节因素可能会影响结果,但这些信息对于旨在增加本科生机会和意识的战略规划是有价值的。
