Summary
Over the last fifty years undergraduate research (UR) has transformed from a focus on selected students predominantly engaged in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines at private US universities to one that challenges and transforms undergraduate curricula internationally for all, or many, students. The language used to describe UR varies between institutions, and includes terms such as ‘research-based education’ (Humboldt, Germany), ‘student as producer’ (Lincoln, UK), ‘problem-based and inquiry-based learning’ (McMaster, Canada), and ‘student as scholar’ (Miami, USA).
