This NSF STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) project grant, awarded to the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), focuses on developing an innovative approach called TEEM (Teaching to Empower) to engage students in learning analytics. The $305,953 project, running from July 2024 to June 2029, will integrate data science and data literacy education at the undergraduate level. Key activities include:

  1. Design-based research on active-learning analytics activities in data science courses to leverage students' intuitive knowledge.
  2. Development of a hands-on, self-guided "Live Data Lab" platform to disseminate student-created, expert-reviewed learning resources.
  3. Pilot studies involving 500 first-year undergraduates, pre-service teachers, and community college students to assess the impact on data literacy and self-regulation.

This project aims to empower students as productive users and creators of learning analytics tools, while also enhancing their data science and data literacy competencies. The insights gained will inform the design of learning analytics systems that better reflect student needs and potentially benefit students across higher education and K-12.
