Pedagogical Models to Implement Effective STEM Research Experience Programs in High School Students

High school research experience programs (HSREPs) provide opportunities for true science education and expose students to scientific investigations in laboratory settings. Various HSREPs models have been practiced to shape students’ research understandings; however, a systematic comparison of the su...
