The University of Georgia was awarded a $341,260 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program. The grant will fund a postdoctoral research fellowship to define and characterize the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) associated with teaching course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in STEM fields. The project aims to develop and pilot-test teaching scenarios to elicit the knowledge and reasoning that experienced CURE instructors employ to support student learning, with a focus on improving instruction for diverse student populations. The results have the potential to inform national conversations on preparing instructors, especially graduate students, to effectively teach CUREs and enhance student persistence and success in STEM disciplines. This award runs from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025.
