Jackson State University was awarded a three-year $600,004 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to develop an automatic assessment tool for engineering education. The tool will use natural language processing models to identify students' misconceptions and learning deficiencies from free-text responses, enabling just-in-time adjustments by instructors and personalized instruction tailored to individual needs. The university will fine-tune pre-trained language models through self-supervised and few-shot learning to classify texts based on rubrics focusing on cognitive and metacognitive processes. The dataset and bias mitigation strategies will support reliable assessment acceptable for practice and advancing knowledge on adapting models for personalized instruction.
