This $169,042 National Science Foundation project grant supports capacity building research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The principal investigator will develop skills in network analysis techniques through coursework and mentoring. These skills will be applied to analyze existing think-aloud and eye tracking datasets collected from undergraduate biology students learning about the immune system. Workshops will be designed and implemented to share applications of network analysis to real-time student data with STEM education and related field researchers. This work is expected to advance understanding of student knowledge structures and comprehension processes. The grant is funded through the NSF's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, which provides leadership and ensures vitality of the U.S. STEM education enterprise by supporting development of STEM education research capacity.
