The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $383,172 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of South Florida to develop and evaluate the use of adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) in five undergraduate engineering courses. The project aims to compare student cognitive and affective outcomes between courses using ALP-delivered adaptive pre-class lessons versus one-size-fits-all pre-class activities delivered through the learning management system...
This $916,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance knowledge on how students can learn robust algebra skills. The project, led by North Carolina State University, will develop an innovative "constructive tutee inquiry" technology that uses large language models to engage students in a question-and-answer dialogue to help them build conceptual and procedural connections in algebra. Classroom evaluation studies...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to test the effectiveness of a Grades K-2 Early Algebra Learning Progression (K-2 EALP) intervention when implemented by elementary teachers in diverse classroom settings. The 3-year, $1,130,967 study will examine student achievement outcomes and the fidelity of the intervention's implementation, with the goal of deepening the role of algebra in the early...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $254,966 to the University of Pittsburgh to develop, improve, and deploy adaptive learning platform (ALP) lessons and compare them with one-size-fits-all pre-class activities delivered via a learning management system (LMS) across five engineering courses at three institutions. The project aims to examine how prior knowledge from ALP lessons impacts student cognitive and affective outcomes,...
This $111,682 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program was provided to the University of Central Florida to develop and evaluate the use of adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) to enhance student motivation, cognitive engagement, and achievement in STEM undergraduate courses. The project aims to compare student outcomes between blended active learning classrooms using pre-class ALP lessons versus traditional one-size-fits-all pre-class...
This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education, under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076), supports a meta-analysis of prior research on personalized adaptive learning (PAL) in undergraduate mathematics courses. The University of Central Florida will conduct a comprehensive literature review and synthesize findings across single studies using quantitative statistics to compute an...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development, calibration, and validation of computer adaptive testing measures to assess mathematical problem-solving ability for grades 6-8. The $563,115 award will: (A) benchmark previously established problem-solving measures, (B) develop a computer adaptive testing item bank, (C) construct student- and class-level reporting, and (D) investigate teachers' capacity to...
The National Science Foundation awarded The University of North Carolina at Charlotte a $134,869 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to adapt an existing online formative assessment platform called Assistments for use in college mathematics and statistics courses. The university will add 500 math problems aligned to common college curricula to the platform and design 16 homework assignments on college algebra topics. It will also use the platform in courses to measure...
The National Science Foundation's STEM Education program awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, located in Bloomsburg, PA, to improve student success in first-year STEM courses. The project aims to implement two proven approaches - the co-requisite model and the Learning Assistant (LA) model - to increase college completion and retention, particularly for disadvantaged students, in STEM degree programs. Through the co-requisite model, students with...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education aims to develop and evaluate an empirically-defensible model for increasing STEM persistence and graduation rates among underrepresented students at Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the $500,000 award made to Our Lady of the Lake University on January 1, 2023 will support redesigning the institution's College Algebra course into three...
