ABSTRACT

Large enrollments and limited resources often preclude requiring all psychology majors to participate in one-on-one research with faculty members. Pamela Gibson, Arnold Kahn, and Virginia Mathie from James Madison University designed two research team models to offer research opportunities for as many students as possible. Model 1 is a single-faculty, single-project team, and Model 2 is a large multifaculty, multiproject team. Students and faculty valued these approaches because they involved students in all aspects of the research enterprise.
