The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $383,172 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of South Florida to develop and evaluate the use of adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) in five undergraduate engineering courses. The project aims to compare student cognitive and affective outcomes between courses using ALP-delivered adaptive pre-class lessons versus one-size-fits-all pre-class activities delivered through the learning management system...
This $111,682 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program was provided to the University of Central Florida to develop and evaluate the use of adaptive learning platforms (ALPs) to enhance student motivation, cognitive engagement, and achievement in STEM undergraduate courses. The project aims to compare student outcomes between blended active learning classrooms using pre-class ALP lessons versus traditional one-size-fits-all pre-class...
This $149,992 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports the development of adaptable, game-based, interactive learning environments for STEM education. The primary goals are to: 1) Automate the customization and adaptation of 3D simulated game-based learning environments to improve engagement; 2) Assess the effectiveness of these learning environments for diverse learner groups in online and in-person...
This $344,869 three-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and implement professional development for Learning Assistants (LAs) to improve their facilitation of student learning in active learning STEM courses. The project will create a new LA pedagogy course sequence based on recent research to support LAs in facilitating student-centered, diverse, and international ways that benefit student learning across STEM...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award to Louisiana State University (LSU) in the amount of $138,601 aims to increase the use of project-based learning in undergraduate software engineering courses. The project will design, develop, and evaluate a reference software engineering course with a repository of 12 ready-to-use projects and associated active learning activities. These resources are intended to enable instructors to more easily...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a study conducted by the RAND Corporation on the use of the Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) adaptive learning technology in first-year algebra and statistics corequisite courses. The research will focus on how ALEKS is being implemented across different institutions, the factors influencing its use by students and instructors, and the relationship...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant award, titled "Fostering Engaged Team-Based Learning in Asynchronous Online and Hybrid Learning Environments," provides $400,000 in funding to The Pennsylvania State University to develop and evaluate the T-PRACTISE system. This system aims to integrate e-learning technologies with online team-based learning activities to address challenges in asynchronous online and hybrid education, particularly for...
