This $125,643 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on integrated STEM self-efficacy among elementary preservice teachers. Funded under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), the award involves a collaborative effort between Southern Methodist University, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Towson University, Indiana University Southeast, University of Massachusetts-Boston, Sacred Heart University, Alcorn State University, Bridgewater State University, Montclair State University, and University of Rhode Island.
Specifically, the project aims to track changes in integrated STEM teaching self-efficacy as preservice teachers complete their teacher preparation programs and enter the classroom. It also seeks to identify elements of teacher education programs that support the development of integrated STEM teaching self-efficacy among early-career teachers. Additionally, the research will examine relationships between integrated STEM teaching self-efficacy, teaching effectiveness, and teacher retention. Findings will be published in research and practitioner journals and shared at conferences to inform researchers, administrators, and educators. The completion date for this five-year project is May 31, 2027.
