The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $297,988 project grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to St. Mary's College of Maryland. The grant aims to develop, assess, and share psychology-based data science course materials for undergraduate education. The project will create data science-enhanced psychology laboratory research courses that embed and scaffold data science skills throughout the semester. These courses will strengthen students' computational skills and provide them with opportunities to apply modern data science techniques, including computer programming, data acquisition, coding and analysis, dataset exploration, data visualization, and communication of algorithmic processes. The project includes a three-year research study to assess the impact of the data science-infused curriculum on students' critical thinking, quantitative literacy, and confidence in scientific and data science skills. The developed course materials will be released as open educational resources to contribute to the pedagogy of data science instruction.
