This $552,999 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) self-efficacy among elementary preservice teachers. Funded under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program, the award involves a collaborative effort between Southern Methodist University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Towson University, Indiana University Southeast, and partner institutions including the University of Massachusetts-Boston and Sacred Heart University. Over the five-year period from June 2022 to May 2027, the project aims to track changes in integrated STEM teaching self-efficacy as approximately 700 prospective elementary teachers transition from teacher preparation programs into teaching positions. It also seeks to identify program elements that support self-efficacy development and examine relationships between self-efficacy, teaching effectiveness, and teacher retention. Findings will be published and presented to inform the design of teacher education programs and the development of more highly qualified elementary STEM teachers.
