This study compares a cookbook-type laboratory course to a research-based undergraduate biology laboratory course at a Research 1 institution. The results indicate that students in the research-based lab had more positive attitudes toward authentic research, higher self-confidence in lab-related tasks, and increased interest in pursuing future research compared with students in the cookbook laboratory course.
