The multi-institutional team will build on prior work to design reflection exercises and a...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $119,990 supports the development of reflection exercises and vignettes to promote professional dispositions among undergraduate computing students. Awarded on July 1, 2022 under the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education program (CFDA 47.076), the two-year project is a collaboration between faculty at four institutions. They plan to build on prior work studying how to foster ten professional behaviors through exercises...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), provides funding of $349,999 to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to expand and enhance methodologies for obtaining deeper insights into factors affecting the engagement and persistence of STEM majors in higher education. The project has two main components: (1) a systematic literature review to characterize the research on undergraduate STEM student engagement, performance, and...
This $399,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and test technology-based interventions to help introductory biology students improve self-regulation and learning. The project, led by the University of Colorado, will engage over 2,000 introductory biology students annually in reflective practices focused on motivation, metacognition, and self-regulation. The interventions will be integrated into a...
This $659,861 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to explore how transdisciplinary computational learning experiences can foster STEM identity formation and persistence among Black undergraduate students. The research project, led by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), aims to make theoretical and empirical contributions to undergraduate computer...
This $374,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to characterize the help resource landscape available to students in computing courses and understand how students from different backgrounds seek and utilize these resources. The project at North Carolina State University (NC State) has three primary goals: 1) Describe the current help resource landscape in computing courses, 2) Understand students' help-seeking...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $149,146 supports research at Smith College to improve computer science education outcomes. The project aims to develop and test a two-stage exam process for introductory computer programming courses. The first stage utilizes an improved multiple-choice exam requiring students to justify answers to identify knowledge gaps. Students with significant gaps proceed to a follow-up interview....
