Abstract

STEM education has transitioned from a model characterized by passive learning and strict laboratory exercises to one focused on active inquiry, student autonomy, and research involvement. Central to this educational transformation are Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), which integrate genuine research into the curriculum. This review synthesizes 15 current studies from Scopus to examine the common focus between cures and STEM education. CUREs and reformed STEM pedagogies integrate authentic scientific practice, student-centered learning, and inclusive access to improve persistence, equity, and workforce readiness. By embedding research with uncertain outcomes into coursework, these approaches broaden participation, remove barriers, and build critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills. They also enhance scientific identity and self-efficacy, particularly for underrepresented students, supporting retention and success in STEM. Scalable and supported by national initiatives, CUREs show that high-impact, research-rich learning can be delivered widely without losing depth, preparing a skilled and diverse scientific community for complex challenges.Pendidikan STEM telah bertransisi dari model yang dicirikan oleh pembelajaran pasif dan latihan laboratorium yang ketat menjadi model yang berfokus pada inkuiri aktif, otonomi mahasiswa, dan keterlibatan dalam penelitian. Inti dari transformasi pendidikan ini adalah Pengalaman Penelitian Sarjana Berbasis Mata Kuliah, yang mengintegrasikan penelitian asli ke dalam kurikulum. Ulasan ini mensintesis 15 studi terkini dari Scopus untuk memeriksa fokus umum antara cures dan pendidikan STEM. CURE dan reformasi pendidikan STEM kontemporer bukanlah gerakan paralel, melainkan strategi yang saling berhubungan secara mendalam yang memiliki nilai-nilai dasar dan tujuan yang saling memperkuat. Baik CUREs maupun STEM memiliki delapan area fokus yang berulang dan saling terkait, yaitu Integrasi Penelitian, Pendekatan Pembelajaran yang Berpusat pada Siswa, Pendidikan Inklusif dan Mudah Diakses, Pengembangan Keterampilan di Luar Pengetahuan Konten, Identitas Ilmiah dan Efikasi Diri, Skalabilitas dan Akses yang Luas, Tujuan Retensi dan Ketekunan, serta Keilmiahan Otentik.
