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 overall measure of PAL's effectiveness in improving student learning outcomes and mathematics performance. Subgroup analyses will evaluate the relationship between student, course, and institutional characteristics and the magnitude of the effect size. Dissemination efforts will share results with practitioners, researchers, and the general public to inform faculty professional development, mathematics course redesign, student support services, and advising strategies aimed at improving student success and retention in STEM fields. The project period runs from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024.
