The University of California Irvine received a $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education. The award will support the development of a video-annotation curriculum called "Noticing in Mathematics: A Video-Annotation Curriculum to Enhance Instructors' Understanding of Student Thinking in Proof-Transition Courses" from Oct 1, 2021 to Sep 30, 2024.
The curriculum aims to enhance instructors' understanding of student thinking in proof-transition courses through video annotation. It will analyze video recordings of student work to help instructors better comprehend the challenges students face in learning proof-based mathematics. The project aligns with the goals of the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA #47.076), which supports initiatives to strengthen STEM education and ensure a vibrant national STEM workforce.
