101) Workshop: Undergraduate Research Training Early and Often

Carla Howery, Deputy Executive Officer, asa: This workshop will showcase strategies for introducing data analysis in the lower division sociology curriculum. At present, the “research sequence” occurs late in the major, and is taken even later by students who are transfer students, who declare the major late, or who postpone taking research courses. There are many reasons for offering research experiences earlier in the curriculum — to give a more accurate and more exciting picture about the field of sociology and the inquiry process; to attract majors, especially quantitatively oriented students in other majors or undecided about a major; to better connect lower and upper division courses, especially the methods sequence; and to better prepare students to undertake research-related positions upon graduation. The group will share ideas about successful ways to introduce research experiences using available data sets and east-to-use data analysis programs to meet the learning goals of basic courses. There is no fee.
