Two foundational studies will examine number perception...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,999 Project Grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Miami on June 1, 2022 for research concluding on May 31, 2024. The grant funds research to predict student success and persistence in early engineering coursework using real-time changes in emotion. Researchers will utilize experience sampling of students' psychological states to repeatedly solicit indicators of self-efficacy, emotion, motivation and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded Brown University an $817,090 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant will support a meta-analytic review of causal research on K-12 math tutoring programs and cost-effectiveness analysis of different tutoring models. This work will inform efforts to expand tutoring programs and optimize limited education resources. As part of the grant, the University of Virginia will receive a...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $391,091 will fund research at Texas A&M University from August 1, 2022 to April 30, 2024 examining the development of mathematics anxiety and its impact on math learning outcomes. The official federal grant program is the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education program under the CFDA number 47.076. The project aims to advance understanding of how mathematics anxiety hinders math achievement through three main studies....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $478,433 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) aims to develop statistical procedures to improve the internal validity of STEM education impact evaluations. The 3-year project from July 2024 to June 2027 will focus on quantifying how the choice of outcome measures affects the conclusions of STEM education research studies. Key products will include new robust statistical...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award, titled "Supporting Elementary Students' Self-Regulated Learning and Fraction Knowledge", provides $102,209 to the Trustees of Indiana University to investigate methods for improving 4th-6th graders' fraction learning, transfer of learning, and metacognitive abilities. The research will evaluate strategies for enhancing students' self-awareness of their fraction knowledge and decision-making skills through reflective...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a $496,337 research project to assess the malleability and impact of mature number sense among 3rd through 8th grade students. The research team at the University of Notre Dame will study how students' mature number sense - their ability to make sense of numbers, notice patterns, and flexibly select problem-solving strategies - changes over the course of an academic year and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education Program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $250,000 to the University of Virginia aims to develop, implement, and evaluate web-based AI-powered teaching simulation tools that will improve evidence-based mathematics teaching practices. The project will create a suite of open-source simulations to support pre-service teachers in fostering rich mathematical discourse in their classrooms. It will also produce open data sets of mathematical...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Michigan State University a $372,888 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support the collaborative research project "Integrating Perspective-Taking and Systems Thinking for Complex Problem-Solving" from October 15, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The STEM Education program aims to ensure the vitality of the Nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics education...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Old Dominion University Research Foundation a $279,759 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) federal grant program (CFDA 47.076) to support improving students' creative problem solving skills in engineering using visual representation methods. The grant will fund the development and evaluation of curriculum and teaching methods integrating visual representation tools to enhance...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Virginia a $349,943 Project Grant under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076). The grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will fund a 3-year research project to: 1) Characterize the nature, form, and function of achievement emotions (e.g. joy, surprise, sadness) that emerge as children learn to solve arithmetic story problems; and 2) Explicate the relationship between these achievement emotions and children's number and operations problem-solving outcomes, including solution accuracy, strategy sophistication, and strategy breadth. The project aims to clarify the contributions of achievement emotions to the development of problem-solving skills in the domain of numbers and operations. It will leverage an existing database connecting achievement emotions with the problem-solving behaviors of 40 kindergarten students as they solve increasingly complex story problems.
