Student awareness of research findings.
One problem faced by all faculty who teach research to undergraduate students is how to make the topic of utilization of research both interesting and practical. The author describes an approach that elicited students' active participation in replicating an earlier study by indicating their awareness of research-validated practices. Involvement of the students in an actual study seems a positive way to introduce the topic of utilization and has been used with success in one program over the past 4 years.
