The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $331,926 under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University for a collaborative project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC REASONING IN ONLINE AND IN-PERSON INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS LABS." The project aims to develop physics lab curriculum modules and assessments targeted at improving students' scientific reasoning skills such as control of variables reasoning, data analytics, and causal decision-making. It will also study the impact of the curriculum on skill development for different student populations and delivery methods. The curriculum will be tested at various institution types and refined based on evaluation results. Products will include a first-semester physics lab curriculum for in-person or online use, associated instructional resources, and assessment tools to measure targeted scientific reasoning outcomes. The total award amount is $331,926 over a three-year period beginning October 1, 2022.
