Project Grant 2100793

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) provides $299,623 to the University of Florida (UF) and its subgrantee, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), to develop a machine learning-powered tool called MathCollaborate. This tool aims to support mathematics teachers in orchestrating productive collaborative learning activities for their students. The...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development and validation of two measures to assess middle school mathematics teachers' curricular reasoning practices. The $232,370 award to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at Binghamton aims to establish the validity and reliability of a teacher self-assessment survey and an observational assessment to quantify teachers' curricular...

This $1,783,246 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create online curricula and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools to facilitate productive classroom discussions on geometric concepts. The project has three key goals: 1) develop online modules to train future teachers on using technology to lead productive...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $212,613 to East Carolina University to develop curriculum materials and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools when leading discussions on geometry concepts. The three main goals are: 1) creating online modules to train future teachers on facilitating productive mathematics discussions...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources, CFDA 47.076) program for $996,169 provides funding for a research synthesis study to examine the relationships among teacher professional learning (PL) interventions, teacher knowledge and practice, and associated student outcomes in math and science education. The research team at the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences (AIR) will use meta-analysis techniques to...

This Project Grant award of $559,632.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to develop and test a theoretical coaching framework that addresses challenges faced by Black disabled high school students in mathematics learning. The project will establish a partnership with a cohort of these students to incorporate their voices, knowledge, and experiences into informing the coaching framework. The research team will support the...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $499,997 to conduct a meta-analysis on the relationships between teacher support, student engagement, and mathematics achievement. The principal investigator and her team at the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences (AIR) will systematically review and meta-analyze existing evidence on the Instructional-Relational Model of student engagement and math achievement....

This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant of $632,122 aims to develop curricular packages for teaching about teaching college mathematics and build understanding of the knowledge, skills, and communities that faculty who provide teaching-focused professional development (TPD) need to grow as provider-scholars and leaders. The project will assemble lessons from a library of TPD activities, create assessments of learning about teaching, and train new TPD...

This federal Project Grant award of $383,350 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program is supporting the development of a teacher learning sequence to help secondary teachers build on high-leverage instances of student mathematical thinking that emerge during whole-class discussions. The project, titled "Collaborative Research: Designing a Teacher Learning Sequence for Building on Mathematical Opportunities in Student Thinking," aims to...

This $237,013 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project to improve undergraduate mathematics instruction through a values-centered collaboration between mathematics education researchers and mathematics instructors. The project aims to: 1) characterize instructors' norms and values around mathematical definitions and identify barriers/supports in communicating them to students; 2) identify...
