Abstract

From 2020 to 2021, the University of West Florida public administration human resources course had an integrated research/practice component. The project began with the premise that students themselves might have an opportunity to play a role as researchers through a class project, learning important interviewing skills while also contributing to a research project that could yield publishable research. This case study highlights how this course component worked, its methodology and practical considerations, and the outcomes for students and as a research-oriented activity, yielding two published peer-reviewed articles. Additional insight is gained from the course component's context in a short-term course, which added additional demand and raised questions about balancing reasonable expectations of students with the desire to provide for significant learning opportunities.
