The review will analyze the...
This $887,316 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support a study on the impact of "rough draft mathematics" teaching approaches on middle school students' engagement and motivation in learning mathematics. The University of Delaware, the prime awardee, will (1) observe teaching practices that promote rough drafting and revising in 24-32 middle school classrooms across three school districts, (2) analyze students'...
This $221,003 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support research on student interactions in small groups in belonging-oriented undergraduate mathematics classrooms at two universities with contrasting student demographics. The primary goal is to explore the experiences of students from non-dominant identity groups and their instructors during group activities, analyzing the interactions, positional...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $961,684 awarded on October 1, 2021 will fund research and dissemination activities under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) through October 31, 2023. Iowa State University is the primary awardee and will partner with Education Development Center and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte on subawards to study the experiences of successful doctoral students from underrepresented groups in mathematics. Through in-depth interviews...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $172,947 will fund the development of open response assessments to evaluate undergraduate student engagement in mathematical sensemaking across biology, chemistry, and physics disciplines. Awarded under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the funding will support two aims over a four year period from March 2023 through February 2027. The first aim is to apply an evidence-centered design process to develop open-ended assessment...
This $1,207,522 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program aims to prepare a cohort of postdoctoral fellows to conduct high-quality systematic reviews and meta-analyses focused on identifying evidence-based interventions for improving mathematics and science outcomes for K-12 students from minoritized groups, including students of color, low-income students, and students with disabilities. The grant supports training in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education project grant (CFDA 47.076) awarded to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) will provide $261,523 to conduct a 5-year study examining student interactions and learning experiences in small groups within belonging-oriented undergraduate mathematics classrooms that utilize active learning approaches. The research aims to advance foundational knowledge on the relationship between active learning and inclusive learning environments, explore...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,785,274 in funding to Arizona State University to investigate changes in teachers' classroom practices after participating in different professional development models. The four-year study, starting on September 15, 2024, will examine six prior NSF-funded professional development projects to understand factors influencing teacher uptake, learning, and impact over time....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $121,215 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, with an award date of October 1, 2023. The project aims to develop and refine a series of instructional modules for use in grade 6-12 mathematics teacher preparation courses. These modules are designed to help prospective mathematics teachers develop the knowledge, skills, and...

This $845,762 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Human Resource Development under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program supports a longitudinal study to investigate the classroom and psychosocial processes linked to mathematics engagement among racially diverse students from 6th to 8th grade.

The study aims to identify patterns in student math engagement trajectories, examine how instructional and social characteristics predict student engagement and math achievement, and analyze how teacher and student psychological beliefs moderate the relationship between classroom factors and student engagement. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research will provide insights to help develop contextually-relevant interventions and optimal teaching practices that enhance student engagement and achievement in math, particularly for underrepresented groups in STEM fields. The award period runs from Jul 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2023 and does not include any planned sub-awards.
