This $259,855 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) supports a collaborative research project titled "ALGEVERSE: Learning College Algebra with Virtual Reality" at Prairie View A&M University, in partnership with Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station and University of Texas at El Paso. The project aims to investigate the impact of a virtual reality (VR) environment on learning college algebra among students at Prairie View A&M University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). The researchers will develop 50 hours of constructivist-based, integrated STEM training content for college algebra, embedded as modules in the "ALGEVERSE" VR environment. They will conduct three rounds of usability studies and three comparative studies to assess ALGEVERSE's effectiveness on learning performance, immersion, motivation, engagement, and user preferences. This project contributes to research on educational technology and math education at HBCUs, with the potential to enhance STEM education, increase STEM degrees awarded to HBCU students, and boost the number of Black and Hispanic individuals in the STEM workforce.
