This $136,123 National Science Foundation project grant aims to improve student learning outcomes in computer science theory courses through the use of conceptual models. Funded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the grant supports research at Rochester Institute of Technology to study the impact of teaching students how to create their own conceptual models of theoretical computing concepts. The project team will analyze qualitative and quantitative data from student...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $149,146 supports research at Smith College to improve computer science education outcomes. The project aims to develop and test a two-stage exam process for introductory computer programming courses. The first stage utilizes an improved multiple-choice exam requiring students to justify answers to identify knowledge gaps. Students with significant gaps proceed to a follow-up interview....
This $175,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to gain deeper insights into how undergraduate students in computer science and mathematics approach and comprehend fundamental concepts at the intersection of the two domains. The key products and services to be delivered include: Conducting think-aloud interviews with computer science and mathematics students to analyze their cognitive processes when solving problems related to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $692,931 to the University of Rochester aims to develop twenty-one (21) highly qualified STEM teachers, especially in computer science, to serve in high-need schools and support the implementation of New York State's computer science and digital fluency learning standards. The five-year program will provide scholarships to STEM graduates to complete a 14-month teacher preparation program, equipping them...
This $385,799 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research and educational activities through August 2024 under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The University of Delaware will leverage educational data mining to understand how undergraduate computer science students regulate learning and draw on motivational resources. Initial findings aim to inform a just-in-time learning intervention to improve study patterns. The project also seeks to increase participation of...
This $267,587 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports a collaborative research effort to transform online instruction of computer science theory courses. The University of Chicago, University of Illinois, and Utah University are developing innovative online exercise tools that provide more equitable and inclusive learning experiences.
