The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $328,554 Project Grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) to study instructional approaches that foster students' relational reasoning skills in mathematics. The primary goal is to help students improve their ability to recognize relationships, commonalities, and differences between mathematical concepts, which supports the development of strong problem-solving skills applicable to mathematics, science, engineering, and healthcare. The three-year project involves experimental studies testing different methods to direct students' attention to mathematical relations, including through classroom discourse, priming tasks, and practicing antithetical thinking. The results are expected to provide insights into effective instructional approaches for enhancing students' conceptual flexibility and relational mindset in mathematics. No sub awards are planned under this grant.
