Understanding the Varieties of Research Experience: Stories of Undergraduate Students

Engaging in research can benefit students in several ways. However, higher learning institutions have been challenged to engage students in research experiences. The present study is conducted to discover what undergraduate students experience in the research process, and how they accomplish their tasks during the process. Narrative research is used for this study to understand present real-life experiences. The study revealed that students experience different conditions and apply various techniques in the research process. Besides, when they encountered the same or similar challenges, they were prone to accomplish their tasks with the same attempt.
