英文文献摘要：
The benefits of undergraduate research for students, including gains in analytical and critical thinking skills, written communication, and self-assurance, has been well-documented in the natural sciences. However, few studies exist that assess the benefits of undergraduate research in the social sciences and none of these studies reports on undergraduate research experiences in agricultural economics. This research reports on a pilot study designed to assess the value of undergraduate research experiences among agricultural economics students. Over 500 alumni who graduated from California Polytechnic State University over the last few decades responded to the 2013 survey. Results demonstrate the value of undergraduate research in agricultural economics to students’ career and personal development as well as the potential for changing perceptions of the benefits over time based on the differences we identified in alumni age group cohorts. A critical issue for agricultural economics departments is how to allocate resources in order to most cost-effectively provide such enrichment in the undergraduate curriculum.
本科生研究对学生的好处，包括提高分析和批判性思维能力、书面交流能力和自信心，在自然科学领域得到了充分证明。然而，很少有研究评估本科生在社会科学领域的研究成果，也没有研究报告本科生在农业经济学领域的研究经验。本研究报告一项初步研究，旨在评估农业经济学学生的本科研究经验的价值。超过500名过去几十年毕业于加州理工大学的校友参与了2013年的调查。结果表明，农业经济学本科研究对学生的职业生涯和个人发展的价值，以及随着时间的推移，基于我们在校友年龄组中发现的差异，可能改变对其利益的看法。农业经济系的一个关键问题是如何分配资源，以最经济有效地提供这种丰富的本科课程。
