This $637,236 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to investigate how students develop principle-based reasoning in undergraduate physiology courses. The project aims to build learning theory that describes how students coordinate scientific knowledge to develop this form of conceptual understanding, which can reduce reliance on rote memorization. Researchers at Michigan State University, the University of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Graduate Education, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to explore how students develop and use mechanistic reasoning in their study of physiology. Specifically, the project plans to interview individuals with varying levels of physiology expertise, from undergraduate students to faculty, to uncover patterns in how mechanistic reasoning is used and how it develops. The goal is to enhance undergraduate...
This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,998 Project Grant to the University of California, Los Angeles under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025. The grant funds the development and testing of Perceptual Adaptive Courseware (PAC) to improve undergraduate neuroanatomy instruction. PAC combines principles of perceptual and adaptive learning by interweaving short instructional modules with web-based interactive exercises. The university will...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Initiation Award of $300,000 to Bethune-Cookman University aims to evaluate the impact of pedagogical interventions involving active learning and computational thinking approaches on student success in undergraduate biology education. The award is funded under the NSF STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, which supports initiatives to strengthen STEM education and workforce development. The project will develop and refine an intelligent online...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $331,926 under the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University for a collaborative project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC REASONING IN ONLINE AND IN-PERSON INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS LABS." The project aims to develop physics lab curriculum modules and assessments targeted at improving students'...
This $399,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and test technology-based interventions to help introductory biology students improve self-regulation and learning. The project, led by the University of Colorado, will engage over 2,000 introductory biology students annually in reflective practices focused on motivation, metacognition, and self-regulation. The interventions will be integrated into a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $299,762, provided through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on "Humanizing Biology Content to Enhance Undergraduate Learning and Intent to Persist in Science". The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the extent to which "humanized" content (integrating science and social justice issues) is prioritized in national biology education initiatives and assessments; 2)...
This $555,943 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and evaluate new educational materials that leverage diverse scientist role models to improve equity and success in undergraduate STEM education, particularly in biology. The lead awardee, Michigan State University, will design teaching resources that combine scientist success stories with data literacy activities. These materials will be tested across a network of...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $450,407 project grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to develop, test, and publish a collection of Core Concept Teaching Tools (CCTTs) that will help undergraduate biology students transfer their knowledge of biology core concepts across scales and sub-disciplines. The project aims to address the need for instructional materials that enable students to make connections across different areas...
