Kairangahau waruhia raraunga ākonga i Facebook, hanumi reira ki ngā pūkete whare wānanga, whakamahia tenei hanumi raraunga mō te rangahau, a ka faaite te reira ki ētahi atu kairangahau.
Timata i te tau 2006, i ia tau waruhia he rōpū o ahorangi me kaiāwhina rangahau nga pūkete o te mau melo katoa o te piha o 2009 Facebook i te "kāreti tūmataiti kanorau i roto i te Northeastern US" tenei raraunga ahopou i Facebook i runga i te auhoaraa, me reka ahurea i hanumi ki raraunga i te kāreti e pā ana ki dorms noho 'i te ākonga me Meiha mātauranga. Tenei hanumi raraunga kanohi he rauemi tino mo kairangahau, a ka whakamahia te reira ki te hanga i te matauranga hou e pā ana ki ngā kaupapa pērā i pehea pāpori whatunga puka (Wimmer and Lewis 2010) me pēhea te pāpori whatunga me whanonga tahi-whanake (Lewis, Gonzalez, and Kaufman 2012) . I tua atu ki te whakamahi i te raraunga mō rātou ake mahi, te Reka, taura, me te rōpū rangahau Time hanga nga raraunga e wātea ana ki ētahi atu kairangahau, i muri i tango etahi kaupae ki te tiaki i te tūmataitinga 'te ākonga, me te i roto i te rārangi ki te hiahia o te National Science Foundation ( i pūtea te ako) (Lewis et al. 2008) .
Kia aroha mai, ra i muri i tika i hanga nga raraunga whakapae wātea, te tahi atu kairangahau e ko te kura i roto i te pātai Harvard College (Zimmer 2010) . I whakawakia o te "kore ki te piri ki ngā paerewa rangahau matatika" te Reka, taura, me ngā kairangahau Time (Zimmer 2010) i roto i te wahi no te mea kahore nga ākonga i ngā whakaaetanga mōhio (arotakengia ngā tukanga katoa i a whakaaetia e te IRB o Harvard me Facebook). I tua atu ki te fakaanga i mātauranga, puta tuhinga niupepa ki matua pērā i "Harvard kairangahau te whakapanga o Takahi Tūmataitinga ākonga '" (Parry 2011) . Te mutunga iho, ka tangohia te huingararaunga i te Internet, a inaianei e kore e taea te whakamahi i te reira i te tahi atu kairangahau.
