The University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) received a $644,611 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop generative language models for personalized tutoring and feedback in mathematics education. Over a five-year period from May 2023 to April 2028, UMass will pursue three research threads. First, UMass will develop open-ended item response theory and knowledge tracing frameworks for mathematics items using generative language models to power teacher dashboards and learner error detection tools. Second, the university will create GLM-based automated mathematics item generation methods and evaluate them in a randomized controlled trial. Third, UMass will build a GLM-based feedback generation framework to provide common wrong answer feedback and tutoring dialogue, leveraging effective teacher-written feedback examples. This NSF award supports the Foundation's mission to ensure the vitality of the U.S. STEM education enterprise.
