This $185,061 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication abilities. The 54-month project, led by the University of Missouri in collaboration with Arizona State University, will develop an "iVISIT" virtual field trip platform to deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences. The project seeks to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $1,015,310 to Arizona State University to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication skills in STEM fields. Over a 54-month period from July 2024 to December 2028, the project aims to develop an "iVisit" virtual field trip platform that can deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences to students...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to determine if virtual field experiences (VFEs) can enhance students' ability to learn science skills and encourage them to pursue science careers. The $729,036 award to Arizona State University (ASU) will fund a quasi-experimental study comparing cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes of introductory biology and ecology students following virtual versus in-person field experiences. The...
This $268,138 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of the first immersive, online virtual field trip (VFT) that capitalizes on paleontological fieldwork. The primary goals are to: 1) increase exposure to geosciences in high schools and early-college classrooms by incorporating geoscience lessons into existing courses; 2) enhance educational content for traditional courses like geography, math, physics,...
This $399,995 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop "VirtualI-Story", an innovative tool that integrates virtual reality (VR) and large language models (LLMs) to provide personalized, situated learning through adaptive storytelling. The key goals are to improve training in construction engineering-related courses and enhance learner preparation for real-world jobs, especially in high-risk fields where practical...
This $254,636 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports a collaborative research project at Sonoma State University to investigate whether virtual field experiences (VFEs) can be as effective as in-person field learning for undergraduate biology and ecology students in developing scientific skills and fostering positive attitudes about science careers. The project aims to compare learning and attitudinal outcomes between...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $249,718 project grant titled "RCN-UBE Undergraduate Virtual Experiences as a Recruitment Tool for Underrepresented Students in STEM - The Virtual Field (TheVirtualField.org)" under the Biological Sciences CFDA program. This funding will enable the development of virtual field learning experiences to broaden access to transformative field station and marine lab programs for undergraduate STEM students, particularly those from...
This $2,462,116 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the development of three immersive, game-based virtual research laboratories for middle school students. The virtual labs will allow students to take on the roles, methods, and practices of scientific research projects in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The project will be led by the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Field Day Lab, which has extensive...
This $499,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) Program (CFDA 47.076) aims to establish and pilot a "laboratory classroom" to capture real-time data on individual student learning processes and classroom dynamics. The goal is to advance understanding of how student-level factors and classroom experiences interact to influence STEM learning, particularly for historically marginalized populations. Key...
This $227,619 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support the development of a culturally relevant immersive virtual learning environment to advance spatial computational thinking skills and career awareness among upper elementary Latinx students. Funded through the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the project aims to design Minecraft: Education Edition experiences that incorporate bilingual visual programming functions and culturally aligned content. Participants will...
