This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on undergraduate science education in the United States. The $113,972 award to Arizona State University will repeat a 2019 survey of approximately 18,000 instructors of first-year mathematics, chemistry, and physics courses across nearly 1,000 post-secondary institutions. This will allow the researchers to characterize...
This Project Grant award for $499,998.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education). The award will fund the incubation and piloting of a "laboratory classroom" to capture real-time data on individual student and teacher behavior, neurology, physiology, cognition, and physical interactions within classroom settings. This research aims to advance understanding of how individual student...
This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
This $499,867 National Science Foundation Project Grant awarded on October 1, 2023 under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the creation of sophisticated assessments and data collection efforts to enhance STEM instruction and research across K-16 education. The project, led by Iowa State University, will establish eight working groups to address critical topics for ethical, large-scale data collection and diverse research collaborations. This will enable the expansion of the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded a $200,000 Project Grant to the National Academy of Sciences to support equity in preK-12 STEM education. Under the grant, the National Academy of Sciences will deliver products and services from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024 to advance the goals of the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the nation's science, technology,...
The University of Washington was awarded a $318,932 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support the collaborative research project "Creating a Mechanism for Youth to Document Out-of-School-Time STEM Learning as a Means for Expanding Educational Pathways." The two-year grant, awarded September 15, 2021, will fund the development of tools and methods for youth to document their out-of-school STEM learning experiences in order to...
This $1,697,005 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in advancing knowledge related to STEM education through a multi-faceted research and training program. The key components include: Dissertation grants and small research grants to support fundamental STEM education research based on secondary data analysis of large-scale datasets. This will build research and...
This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
