- The National Science Foundation awarded a $399,592 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, doing business as Virginia Tech, to redesign, implement, and evaluate a training program for computer science teaching assistants (TAs) to help motivate student engagement in large CS courses. The project aims to use evidence-based practices to train about 80 CS TAs per semester on inclusive teaching...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $900,000 to North Carolina State University to develop innovative, AI-powered online learning environments that promote the learning-by-teaching approach. The project aims to design and empirically evaluate a novel integration of a teachable agent, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI to support students' acquisition of both procedural and conceptual knowledge...
- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings supports the development of a network of "tutor observatories" to capture and analyze data on teacher-student interactions in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. The project, titled "Capturing and Leveraging Data from Teacher-Student Interactions to Improve STEM Learning: An Incubator Project," aims to create a...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to improve undergraduate computing education by integrating concepts of technical debt into curriculum. The project will develop an innovative inquiry-based learning tool called TD-Tutor to help students recognize, evaluate, and manage technical debt in software systems. The $294,117 award, granted to Virginia Commonwealth University and running from June 2025 to May 2028, will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) in the amount of $748,680 aims to develop an AI-driven software system that integrates educators' materials and rules to provide customized virtual teaching assistants (VTAs) to support student learning in large classrooms. The 3-year project, commencing February 1, 2025, seeks to create an empirically validated tool that will offer scalable,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create dynamic research experiences for undergraduate students in artificial intelligence (AI) with applications in computer science education. The $400,000 award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, will provide hands-on research opportunities for students to develop AI-based educational resources for computer science education settings. Participant pairs will be...
- This $400,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and evaluate the T-PRACTISE system, a framework for fostering engaged asynchronous online and hybrid learning among diverse students, such as adult learners. The project plans to: 1) design, implement, and pilot a proof-of-concept T-PRACTISE system to reduce training and engagement disparities in an asynchronous online environment; 2) adapt and extend...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program supports the development of the Tutor Engagement Assistant (TEA) system by The Washington University. The TEA system aims to improve the quality of teaching assistant-student interactions in computing courses through $400,722 in funding from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024. Specifically, the TEA system will help undergraduate teaching assistants quickly debug student code and construct personalized problem sets to structure their interactions with students. This is intended to lead to more efficient and educationally effective teaching assistant help nationwide. The project also seeks to advance understanding of tutor-student interactions and identify techniques for personalizing problem sets to positively impact interaction quality and student learning outcomes. Overall, the award aims to develop tools and research insights that enhance engaged student learning in STEM fields, as supported through the NSF's IUSE: EHR program.
