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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $720,166 to the University of Washington to develop the "Remote Experimentation and Digital Twinning for Accessible and Innovative Learning (REDTAIL)" project. The 36-month project aims to enhance learning and promote understanding of lab concepts through the innovative use of digital twin technology - the integration of traditional simulation-based engineering models with...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program, CFDA 47.076 STEM Education, will establish a "laboratory classroom" to capture real-time data on individual student learning behaviors, cognition, and interactions within classroom settings. The $499,998 award to the University of Virginia will fund the incubation and piloting of this research platform, which aims to produce metrics on student-level factors that influence STEM...
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 $100,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering Education and Centers division will fund research at Tufts University examining how virtual and physical laboratory modes differentially influence the development of engineering students' epistemic practices. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering innovation and excellence in research and education programs like the Engineering program...
This $254,022 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop a framework for assessing individual student contributions to team software projects in undergraduate computing education. The project will create a novel teaching and assessment approach where students document and reflect on their project tasks and outcomes, which are then evaluated by instructors and peers against performance indicators. This framework is...
