  • Undergraduate Research at the University of Regina
    Undergraduate Research at the University of Regina Page 1 Undergraduate Research at the University of Regina Introduction The University of Regina has identified undergraduate re- search and creative inquiry as a priority for enhancing the undergraduate student experience. The University has grown its research enterprise significantly in recent years in terms of research impact, Tri-Agency activity, internation- al collaborations, and graduate student enrolment. A fur- ther opportunity to expand our research impact exists in the area of undergraduate student research. The University has an enviable student-to-professor ratio, with 1:27 establish- ing us as fourth among mid-sized comprehensive Canadian universities. The rapid evolution of the post-secondary landscape has placed many Canadian universities under extraordinary pressures as institutions face falling government support, increased tuition rates, changing demographics, shifting expectations of students, an increase of non-traditional students, and disruptive technologies.1 It is well established that experiential learning and faculty mentoring enhances the student experience and supplies professional socialization that supports future decisions on education and career paths.2 To remain competitive the University of Regina must ensure that the student experience is responsive to students’ expectations and prepares them to be global citizens in a knowledge economy. Over the past decades one of the most popular approaches to advancing this goal is to implement institutional strategies on research learning.3 The trends of students as co-creators of knowledge, as members of a disciplinary community, and as research learners has, and will, continue to grow into the future. Research learning moves beyond passive learning (classroom lecture) to actively engage students as participants in the knowledge creation process.
