This study explores the sense of efficacy, perceptions of benefits, and concerns among high school students participating in an AP Research course during the 2021–2022 academic year. The investigation includes an evaluation of students’ satisfaction with course materials and delivery. Data, gathered through surveys and individual essays, underwent analysis to assess improvements in students’ research efficacy and overall satisfaction. The findings reveal that, despite encountering challenges, most students demonstrated notable improvement and expressed satisfaction with the course’s pedagogical approach. Identified benefits include enhanced critical thinking, improved research skills, and increased confidence in conducting independent research projects. This study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness and impact of the AP Research program on student learning and engagement. To build on these insights, further research is recommended to explore best practices for optimizing student experiences and outcomes in AP Research.
