Boyer Report

The Boyer Report, formally known as the "Boyer Commission on Educating Undergraduates in the Research University," was released in 1998 and emphasizes the importance of integrating research and undergraduate education. It argues that universities should encourage students to engage in research activities as part of their learning experience. The report advocates for a more active, hands-on approach to education, where students work alongside faculty and participate in meaningful research projects. This integration enhances critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and prepares students for their careers, ultimately enriching their educational experience in higher learning institutions.
