• W246502645 abstract "In this article, we describe five lessons learned from the research program at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) that we are beginning to apply to our faculty positions. Both of us are new assistant professors in large, secular, state universities. Although in some ways this setting is ideal for encouraging research, it can still be difficult to instill a love of research in students. These lessons describe practical ways that faculty members can engage students in research.Engaging students in research can be a difficult endeavor. Students have no shortage of activities and responsibilities vying for their time, including courses, graduate assistantships, and practicum responsibilities. Many students think they will not like research - perhaps they just feigned interest to gain admission to graduate school. More realistically, they suspect they will become clinicians. Even when students know they want to be researchers, they may feel pressure to prioritize clinical work in order to compete for scarce internship positions. Thus, even seasoned researchers have difficulty getting students to prioritize research in graduate school.This challenge of engaging students in research is what we consider in the present article, based on our recent experience as graduate students at Virginia Commonwealth University. We each graduated in the past two years. Neither of us knew we wanted to pursue careers as researchers upon entering graduate school. Somewhere along the way, however, we both developed a passion for research and writing and now both work at large secular state universities that place a heavy emphasis on research and pursuit of external grant funding. Thus, we wanted to reflect on some of the things that helped us discover and cultivate our interest in research.Description of Setting and SituationIn some ways, it is probably easier for faculty in settings like ours to engage students in research than in other settings. Our doctoral positions are highly competitive, in part because students receive some combination of tuition remission and stipend. As such, we can choose our graduate students carefully, attempting to select students who want to be trained as researchers, share our research interests, and have the aptitude to succeed as researchers. Furthermore, graduate students enter our program knowing that they will complete at least two independent research projects (for most, a thesis and dissertation), on the way to their degree.Furthermore, undergraduate students who are a part of our research teams also often express interests and commitment to research. Undergraduate students who participate in research are generally planning to go to graduate school in psychology, and it is necessary to accrue research experience for successful admission. Thus, although undergraduate students may not have as clear a fit in research interests, they are often motivated to participate in order to obtain a quality recommendation letter for graduate school.Despite these advantages, we have often overheard highly productive researchers commiserate about the challenges of engaging students in research. Thus, we thought it might be helpful - while our experience as students is fresh in our minds - to discuss aspects of our graduate training that seemed to help us discover and cultivate a passion for research and writing.LessonsOrient Students to Scientific CultureThe transition to graduate school is a major one, and it is essential to help students adapt to their new social environment. In my first meeting (DED), Everett Worthington, my research and program advisor, first gauged my career goals and interest in becoming a researcher. I wanted to keep my options open, I told him. So, he helped me understand the experiences I would need in order to compete for an academic position out of graduate school - namely, publishing often and well (mighty is the pen). Second, we talked about what I might do for my thesis and dissertation. …" @default.
