- This $172,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research and development to improve organic chemistry education. The University of Northern Colorado will conduct three studies and develop instructional materials to better understand how undergraduate students learn from and apply different molecular representations in organic chemistry problem solving. Specifically, the university will randomly assign problem sets using chemical...
- This $126,259 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research and development to improve organic chemistry education. The University of South Florida will partner with the University of Northern Colorado to conduct three studies exploring how different molecular representations facilitate student success in solving organic chemistry problems. The project team will randomly assign end-of-semester students to problem sets varying only...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $160,551 to Gallaudet University to strengthen the pipeline for deaf scientists in signed language research. The project aims to increase the participation of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the field of signed language research through a mentorship and access model. Key activities include: Providing a cohort of deaf college and university...
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, is funding the development and testing of software and hardware tools to enable blind or low-vision faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students in chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and information sciences to generate, identify, and manipulate digital data patterns and trends. The $459,000 award to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to engage undergraduate students at the University of San Francisco as active agents in reforming the chemistry curriculum. The $179,218 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, will support the adaptation and implementation of a "Scientist Spotlights" intervention. This intervention enables diverse students to author reflective assignments exploring...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $299,134 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) to develop assessment tools for evaluating students' understanding of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. The 3-year project aims to design computer-based scoring models using machine learning text analysis to assess students' written explanations of organic chemistry concepts. The project will also provide professional development...
This $379,407 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) aims to improve the undergraduate chemistry classroom experience for deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year project include: Developing a comprehensive sign language lexicon for general, organic, and biochemistry concepts and terminology to facilitate better comprehension and inclusion of D/HH students. Implementing methods to sustain the use of the new chemistry signs among D/HH students, instructors, and interpreters. Broadly disseminating the newly developed chemistry signs to the STEM community of D/HH students, instructors, and interpreters. Evaluating the effectiveness of the sign language lexicon in improving D/HH student success, self-efficacy, science identity, and sense of belonging in chemistry courses. The project aims to address the lack of standardized STEM sign terminology which poses a key challenge for D/HH students pursuing STEM fields. The results are expected to enhance scientific and technological understanding by improving the classroom experience and broadening participation of D/HH students in chemistry.
