The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to investigate the impact of engaging teacher candidates and new teachers in video-based analysis of STEM classrooms. The goal is to build their skills in noticing inclusive approaches to STEM teaching, with the potential to improve the effectiveness and retention of STEM teachers in high-need schools. The $117,457 award supports a collaborative research project led by Kennesaw...
- This $326,026 CAREER grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education) supports the development of methods and tools to enable researchers to unpack complex mediation mechanisms in multisite randomized trials of educational interventions. The project aims to (1) determine how the total impact of an intervention is mediated by one or multiple concurrent/sequential mediators, and (2) assess how the...
- This $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research at Cal Poly Corporation to characterize undergraduate STEM research experiences and student outcomes. The three-year award aims to develop and validate a multi-dimensional measure of the work design structure of academic-year undergraduate research experiences. Researchers will adapt an established work design survey from organizational psychology for the STEM research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to advance knowledge about the development and implementation of improved student assessment strategies in undergraduate STEM education at two-year institutions. The $499,954 award to Shoreline Community College will investigate the impacts of pre-released exam strategies on student learning, experiences, and faculty adoption. Through a mixed-methods design-based research study, the project...
CAREER: SECOND CHANCE STEM: UNCOVERING SCHOOL POLICIES STRUCTURING ACCESS TO AND ENGAGEMENT IN HIGH SCHOOL STEM CREDIT RECOVERY -ONLINE STEM CREDIT COURSES HAVE BECOME ATTRACTIVE TO SCHOOL LEADERS AS A WAY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO FAIL STEM COURSES IN FACE-TO-FACE SCHOOL YEAR SETTINGS. HOWEVER, THERE IS LITTLE RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROCESSES INVOLVED IN HOW SCHOOLS MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING STUDENT CREDIT RECOVERY. THE AVAILABLE RESEARCH FOCUSES SOLELY ON STUDENT RESULTS AND IS NOT DEFINITIVE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT IMPORTANT POLICY DECISIONS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL. THIS RESEARCH BRINGS REDRESS TO THIS POLICY DILEMMA. THE RESEARCHER WILL CONDUCT THREE INDIVIDUAL STUDIES. THE FIRST STUDY WILL BE LOCATED IN 14 SCHOOLS IN A LARGE AND DEMOGRAPHICALLY CHANGING SUBURBAN SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS WORK WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A SURVEY OF OPTIMAL POLICY/PRACTICE COMBINATIONS AT THE LEVEL OF THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT. FINALLY, RESULTS FROM THE FIRST TWO STUDIES WILL SUPPORT A NATIONAL LEVEL SURVEY USING A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE FROM THE RAND AMERICAN SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PANEL. RESULTS FROM THE THREE STUDIES WILL BE INTERWOVEN TO DELIVER A THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL FRAMEWORK TO SUPPORT POLICY MAKERS ENGAGED IN STEM CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAMS. TOGETHER THE STUDIES WILL INTEGRATE CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF PROGRAM SUCCESS, COST, STUDENT ENGAGEMENT, AND PEDAGOGY. THIS IS A FACULTY EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (CAREER) PROJECT RESPONSIVE TO PROGRAM SOLICITATION NSF 22-586 AND FUNDED JOINTLY BY THE DISCOVERY RESEARCH PREK-12 PROGRAM, WHICH SEEKS TO SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE THE LEARNING AND TEACHING OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATHEMATICS, AND COMPUTER SCIENCE (STEM) BY PREK-12 STUDENTS AND TEACHERS, THROUGH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF STEM EDUCATION INNOVATIONS AND APPROACHES, AND NSF'S EDU CORE RESEARCH (ECR) PROGRAM. THE ECR PROGRAM EMPHASIZES FUNDAMENTAL STEM EDUCATION RESEARCH THAT GENERATES FOUNDATIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD. INVESTMENTS ARE MADE IN CRITICAL AREAS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL, BROAD, AND ENDURING: STEM LEARNING AND STEM LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS, BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN STEM, AND STEM WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
