Abstract How can we draw students in to research methods courses? How can we better engage students once they enroll? This paper reports on a pilot project to use service-learning to solve these problems. A group research project can increase students’ interest in and engagement with the content of a research methods course, while simultaneously performing a service to the wider community. The paper discusses trade-offs inherent in such an undertaking, the logistical problems (and potential solutions) involved in such a project, and a sample curriculum that may be used by instructors to develop similar courses.

Abstract
How can we draw students in to research methods courses? How can we better
engage students once they enroll? This paper reports on a pilot project to use
service-learning to solve these problems. A group research project can increase
students’ interest in and engagement with the content of a research methods
course, while simultaneously performing a service to the wider community.
The paper discusses trade-offs inherent in such an undertaking, the logistical
problems (and potential solutions) involved in such a project, and a sample
curriculum that may be used by instructors to develop similar courses.
