The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $175,000 Project Grant to Tennessee State University (TSU) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The funding will support a research project that examines the use of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology, coupled with a project-oriented CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) educational approach, to enhance STEM education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Specifically, the researchers aim...

This $345,237 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to transform STEM education at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) through innovative extended reality (XR) technologies. The project will study how six STEM faculty at Fresno State University engage in a faculty learning community to integrate XR into their undergraduate courses. The research will examine how this support affects the faculty's perceptions, skills, and implementation of XR in their classrooms. This study will document the faculty's development of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) to use XR and generate insights on effectively supporting faculty in adopting new educational technologies. The project intends to enhance active learning, increase student engagement, and improve learning outcomes in STEM subjects, particularly for students from historically excluded backgrounds. Sub-awards are planned for this grant.
