This National Science Foundation project grant of $268,072 supports the development of scientific reasoning skills assessment tools and associated curriculum for introductory physics labs at The Ohio State University and the University of Cincinnati. Funded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the collaborative three-year project aims to advance scientific reasoning among undergraduate students through new online and in-person lab modules focusing on control of variables reasoning, data analytics, and causal decision-making. The investigators will design and study the impact of targeted curriculum pieces on student skill development in these cognitive areas essential to scientific inquiry. They will also assess any differences in learning outcomes between student populations and instructional settings. Upon completion, the curriculum and assessment tools will be tested and disseminated to optimize use at a variety of institution types, including universities, liberal arts colleges and two-year colleges.
