This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $499,960 will fund the development and research of integrating data literacy and text analytics instruction into middle school English language arts courses from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026. The goal is to build students' science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills by analyzing textual data using techniques like word frequency visualization that are relevant to fields like data journalism and language technologies. The grant recipient, Stanford University, will work with a partnering Hispanic-majority school district where almost a third of students are English learners. An estimated 3,000 public middle school students will use innovative data literacy integrations in their English language arts classes over multiple years. Changes in students' data literacy, textual literacy, and STEM awareness will be documented and analyzed. Funded through the National Science Foundation's Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers program, this award aims to increase students' knowledge and interest in STEM and information and communication technology careers by introducing data literacy activities into compulsory humanities courses.
