This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program ($106,679) supports the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Awarded February 1, 2023 for a three-year period concluding January 31, 2026, this collaboration between Yale University, SUNY-Binghamton, and the University of Connecticut aims to identify why some instructors continue to adopt evidence-based teaching methods after professional development...
This $294,957 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of tools to measure faculty use of evidence-based teaching practices and identify perceived obstacles to adoption. The key products to be delivered include: Creating and validating a student survey (S-IMPACT) to gather feedback on instructors' use of best practices in their classes. This will be used in conjunction with the existing faculty self-assessment tool...
This $103,921 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of quantitative models relating student learning outcomes and affect to varying degrees of instructional reform at Utah Valley University from June 2023 to May 2026. Through the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the awardee will design introductory geoscience lessons at different levels of reformed teaching practice based on established classroom observation protocols. Lessons will be administered across...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program provides $299,906 to Florida International University to develop and implement the Deep Teaching Residency, a year-long faculty development program. The program aims to build a community of scholar-educators committed to developing and evaluating inclusive teaching practices in undergraduate STEM courses. Over two years, two cohorts of 24 STEM instructors each will participate in a preparatory summer workshop and...
Yale University was awarded a $599,692 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and test a revised measure of student buy-in to evidence-based teaching practices in college STEM classrooms. The grant aims to produce a more concise and conceptually aligned survey tool to measure student buy-in through three key activities. First, the project will improve an existing student buy-in framework by exploring moderating variables through...
This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $300,000 aims to develop a Faculty Inclusive Teaching Survey (FITS) Guidebook and associated training program to advance inclusive teaching practices in undergraduate STEM education. The key project activities include: Conducting additional quantitative analyses and creating an integrated framework of inclusive teaching development based on data from the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project. Developing the FITS...

This $147,103 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop curricular packages for teaching-focused professional development (TPD) to improve programs preparing novice college mathematics instructors. The key goals are to: Develop curricular packages for learning about teaching college mathematics, which will be piloted by experienced TPD providers. Build new research-based understanding of the knowledge, skills,...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program, formerly known as Education and Human Resources, totaling $421,171 will fund the development of a model to understand instructor implementation of evidence-based teaching practices. Yale University is the primary awardee and will collaborate with the State University of New York at Binghamton and the University of Connecticut on this project awarded February 1, 2023 with a projected completion date of January 31, 2026.

The project aims to create a model for instructor training and support between professional development programs and classroom implementation of evidence-based teaching methods. Through mixed methods research including surveys and interviews of instructors from 21 institutions of higher education, the project will systematically identify themes in how instructors incorporate new strategies after training. It intends to build and validate a model of the implementation process and develop an inventory to assess implementation at different stages. Insights should help both instructors and professional developers improve how new practices are adopted in STEM classrooms for all students.
