- This $144,771 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the University of Maine in developing adaptable online teaching resources and professional development for biology instructors. The University will build a library of peer-reviewed, active learning resources for online biology courses and offer workshops to help faculty incorporate these materials and skills into their own teaching through 2024. A subaward of $15,000 to the University...
Arizona State University received a $130,214 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education on January 1, 2022 for completion by December 31, 2024. The award is being used to fund the development of a self-guided online intervention to address student fear of negative evaluation in active learning undergraduate biology courses under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The intervention aims to help more students feel comfortable participating in active learning techniques that are a core part of modern biology education pedagogy. By addressing a key psychological barrier, the university expects more undergraduates will reap the educational benefits of hands-on, collaborative work that helps deepen understanding of complex course concepts. Project results may help the NSF's ongoing efforts to strengthen STEM education and ensure continued innovation in these vital fields.
