顾问的角色

学生如何从科学探究中获益 

Stone 和 Jacobs (2008) found a number of benefits to students participating in SI. 例如, SI students are less likely to earn grades of D or F or 与draw 和一个re more likely to earn higher final grades than students who do 不 participate in SI, 他们的机构更有可能留住他们. 向持怀疑态度的学生宣传科学探究的好处. Students who participate in SI tend to earn higher grades on exams 和 higher final grades than students who do 不 attend. Students who participate are also less likely to earn Ds or Fs or 与draw from the course (Stone & 雅各布斯,2008). 

Although there are 不 many research studies focusing on benefits to the students who serve as SI leaders, 一些研究表明，科学探究可以提高沟通技巧, 教师互动, 和材料的知识(石头) & 雅各布斯,2008). 在密歇根州立大学丹佛分校, 补充说明 has had a large impact on retention rates as well as increased course grades. SI项目于2016年开始收集保留率和DFW率数据. 2016 - 2018之间, the retention rate rose 12% for those who participated in SI versus those who did 不. 皇冠官网网站最新的数据, 2019年秋季, demonstrates that continued trend 与 almost a 15% lower DFW rate for those utilizing SI than those who did 不. It is our goal at SI to continue to improve retention numbers as well as decrease DFW rates across multiple departments 和 courses across the university.
