Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a $625,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant will fund research to develop a detailed theory of how basic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts are organized neurologically. Researchers will assess brain representations of STEM concepts in physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics in students at varying expertise levels using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Machine learning analysis will evaluate changes in neural representations under different instructional methods, with a goal of generating novice learner representations similar to domain experts. Findings aim to advance understanding of scientific concept ontologies, instructional design theories, and artificial intelligence-guided education to facilitate more effective interventions for expert-level knowledge acquisition. The research builds on prior work demonstrating functional magnetic resonance imaging can predict and assess physics concept learning.
