Undergraduate Research Participation and its Influences on Student Development: An Empirical Study in A Chinese University

Based on a theoretical and empirical review of college student involvement and research participation， this paper mainly analyses the effects of undergraduate research participation using a student survey dataset in one Chinese university. The main empirical results are as follows： First， the percentage of students engaging in research activities is relatively low• There is a remarkable difference of research participation rate among students with different backgrounds. Those who have got better academic achievement and more social experiences are more likely to participate in research activities. Second， students who engage more in research activities will make more progress. However， the positive influences of research participation on student development vary among those with different learning experiences and expectations. Finally this study suggests that higher education educators should attract more students to participate in research activities. Meanwhile， evaluation of the quality of undergraduate research participation should be emphasized.
