This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, with an experimental component to test participant evaluations of AI-powered versus non-AI educational platforms. Findings will inform policy guidelines and design recommendations to promote youth privacy, safety, and equitable AI use in educational contexts. The project will be conducted by the University of California Irvine, with NORC at the University of Chicago providing survey research and data collection services as a sub-awardee.
