These lessons will be implemented at four institutions over multiple semesters, with...
This three-year, $599,599 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to advance understanding of how expertise in scientific observation develops as a multidimensional skill. The University of Utah will study how secondary science teachers learn to generate scientific observations through professional learning experiences in field geology. Researchers will analyze teacher learning in two rounds of a year-long program designed to build understanding of the geologic record using...
This $1,535,959 federal project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program (CFDA 47.076) supports an initiative to develop an innovative model for rural science teacher professional development via technology-mediated lesson study. The project aims to enhance the pedagogical skills and science expertise of 88 high school biology and chemistry teachers in four rural regions of Utah, reaching approximately 10,000 rural students annually. Key...
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,...
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...
