This Project Grant award of $373,993 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports a collaborative research project to study the embodied cognitive shifts that occur during geometry learning. The project aims to gather and analyze data on students' body movements, speech, and interactions as they play a mathematics learning game designed to encourage physical engagement. Automated AI detectors will identify key moments of student insight and struggle, prompting data-driven interviews to investigate the cognitive, metacognitive, and affective processes underlying these nonverbal indicators of learning. The findings will be used to develop a theoretical model explaining the interplay of cognition, metacognition, affect, and embodiment in mathematics learning, as well as practical design principles for classroom instruction and embodied learning technologies. The project seeks to improve mathematics learning, especially for students who rely on nonverbal thought processes.
