GRF: Investigating and enhancing undergraduate research experiences in the curriculum through teacher-student collaborative inquiries (GRF, PI, HK$573,550)
This research project examined undergraduate research experiences in four research-based curricula situated two research-intensive universities in Hong Kong. We completed the project in May 2023 and have generated fruitful outcomes including journal papers, news reports, and guidelines for undergraduate researchers.
