- Abstract
Research, a daunting word for most undergraduate recreation students, could potentially be remedied right in their core course curriculum. By building research methods into undergraduate coursework, a student can become comfortable and confident in their own abilities. Introducing students to the art of asking questions, developing questions, and gaining buy-in can start in the classroom and filter into their recreation internships and careers. Focus on beginning with the end in mind with a practical hands-on approach. Previous professors and researchers found that starting in the classroom, in small groups with the faculty serving initially as a facilitator, mentor, then a confidant allowed for growth and preparations needed for real-world application. Once this practice has occurred the student can take the lessons learned and apply them in a multitude of professional recreation settings over the various years of their career.
