The University of Alaska Fairbanks was awarded a $299,320 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to test the use of co-requisite precalculus instruction to improve undergraduate student success in Calculus 1. The three-year project beginning July 1, 2021 will evaluate delivering precalculus content simultaneously with Calculus 1 to determine if this approach helps more students successfully complete the gateway Calculus course. As the STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's STEM education enterprise, this research seeks to develop strategies for improving student pathways in mathematics, a foundational STEM subject. The grant will support this work being conducted at the University of Alaska Fairbanks from 2021 through 2024.
