Description
Summary:This case discusses the role students play in field-based survey research and offers a guide to ensuring that their role is beneficial. Student researchers can be integral to the data collection process, benefit tremendously from research experiences, and learn a great deal about the communities they study. It is important, however, to integrate students into collaborative knowledge production. Drawing on my own experience as well as feedback from members of my team, I present several strategies for how undergraduates can best become part of a research team. This overview will help students to understand their important role in field work and guide faculty and graduate students in incorporating undergraduates into their research.
