This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $352,772 to San Diego State University Research Foundation to investigate relations between mathematics instructor approaches to teaching college calculus and the expectations of engineering faculty across 2-year and 4-year institutions in California. The research aims to characterize calculus instruction methods and content through analysis of course materials, as well as assess...
The University of Alaska Fairbanks was awarded a $299,320 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to test the use of co-requisite precalculus instruction to improve undergraduate student success in Calculus 1. The three-year project beginning July 1, 2021 will evaluate delivering precalculus content simultaneously with Calculus 1 to determine if this approach helps more students successfully complete the gateway Calculus course. As the...
This $999,957 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative effort between the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) and South Texas College (STC) to enhance student success and persistence in calculus courses at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs). The project aims to improve pass and persistence rates in Calculus I and II, shorten the time to complete the calculus sequence, and increase student...
This $399,481 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve the success and persistence of undergraduate students taking pre-calculus courses at a Hispanic Serving Institution. The project will implement an intervention program that includes exposure to campus resources, attribution retraining, and use of a pedagogical tool called an "exam wrapper" to promote self-reflection. The goal is to increase student...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $267,088 to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, to conduct research and develop instructional exercises that will support the effective integration of calculus concepts in introductory calculus-based physics courses.
