The School of Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland in Australia developed a voluntary research program to engage students with experiential learning opportunities and increase motivation and engagement. Projects were developed by academics (research faculty members or doctoral students) in their research laboratories. The purpose of this exploratory study is to understand the motivation the academics had to engage with students and invest time and resources in creating research projects not attached to students' grades or credits. We conducted interviews with academics to understand why they decided to engage with the research projects. Our results suggest that the most important thing was to develop studentteacher engagement, which had an implication later on in their classrooms. Similarly, they saw it as a mentoring opportunity and as a way to improve their time-management skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
