摘要

本科生研究助理是未来社会学家专业化的关键。我们的研究是社会科学领域第一次从教师和学生的角度记录利益和挑战。通过采访13名本科生研究助理(RA)和10名主要本科院校社会学系的教员,我们概述了教员指导本科生研究的好处和挑战。我们发现,学生在学习职业兴趣和发展与导师的关系的同时,发展了实践研究、项目管理和人际交往技能。RA挑战包括重复性任务和时间管理。教师受益于他们工作的帮助、指导的机会和教学反馈。教师面临的挑战包括沟通、本科生流动和体制障碍。将这些好处和挑战与RA和教员的目标和动机进行比较,我们为有兴趣增加本科生参与研究的部门和机构提出了建议。

The Undergraduate RA: Benefits and Challenges for Sociology Faculty and Research Assistants
The undergraduate research assistantship is key in the professionalization of future sociologists. Our study is the first in the social sciences to document benefits and challenges from both faculty and student perspectives. By interviewing 13 undergraduate research assistants (RAs) and 10 faculty in sociology departments at primarily undergraduate institutions, we outline the benefits and challenges of faculty-directed research with undergraduates. We find that students develop practical research, project management, and interpersonal skills while learning about career interests and developing relationships with mentors. RA challenges include repetitive tasks and time management. Faculty benefit from assistance with their work, the opportunity to mentor, and pedagogical feedback. Faculty challenges include communication, undergraduate turnover, and institutional barriers. Comparing these benefits and challenges with the goals and motives of both RAs and faculty, we suggest recommendations for departments and institutions interested in increasing undergraduate engagement in research.
