The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Willamette University a $389,544 Project Grant through its STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to develop, evaluate, and disseminate a Skill-Based Curricular Overlay (SBCO) for introductory psychology courses at 2-year and 4-year colleges. The SBCO aims to bolster scientific thinking skills in addition to content coverage, meeting the recognized need to incorporate stronger scientific thinking training in introductory STEM courses. The project will generate research-validated materials that can be easily incorporated and adapted by instructors with diverse experience and teaching in various settings, serving as a replicable framework for skill-based training applicable to other scientific skills and disciplines. The award period is from Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 30, 2026. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
