The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $657,616 project grant under its STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for the project "Integrating Self-Regulated Learning into STEM Courses: Maximizing Learning Outcomes with the STSRL Framework." This 3-year effort aims to improve postsecondary students' academic success and retention in STEM disciplines by embedding effective self-regulated learning...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $599,867 supports the development of instructional design principles to improve student mindset and persistence in introductory physics courses. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the three-year award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign aims to establish practices that integrate physics epistemology, growth mindset, and sense of belonging. Through a design-based research approach involving mixed methods,...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $221,003 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to conduct research on student interactions in small groups within belonging-oriented undergraduate mathematics classrooms that employ active learning approaches. The project aims to explore the experiences of students from non-dominant identity groups and their instructors during these group activities, analyzing their interactions,...

This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of online learning modules to improve retention of STEM students at the City University of New York. Led by the Research Foundation of the City University of New York in partnership with the university system, the three-year project aims to design, implement, and refine eight modules focused on building students' sense of belonging and self-regulated learning skills. The modules will be piloted in two required civil...

This $399,481 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve the success and persistence of undergraduate students taking pre-calculus courses at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The project will implement an intervention program that includes exposure to campus resources, attribution retraining, and use of a pedagogical tool called an "exam wrapper" to promote self-reflection. The goal is to increase student...

This $399,480 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a research project at the University of Iowa focused on incorporating evidence-based cognitive science strategies to enhance student success in engineering courses.
