This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), supports a conference that aims to address the persistent lack of integration of local ecological knowledge with Western STEM education. The $100,000 award, effective from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024, will enable WestEd, a non-profit education research and service agency, to convene a group of Indigenous academic, community, and education leaders. Over three phases, the...
This $350,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to prepare science teachers to engage multilingual learners in scientific argumentation through mixed-reality simulations. The key goals are to identify essential elements in teacher-student interactions that help elicit student thinking to improve scientific argumentation among secondary multilingual learners, and to explore the preliminary effects, acceptability, and...
This $559,342 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to foster a STEM + medicine learning ecosystem that brings together secondary teachers in historically under-resourced schools and local STEM professionals to co-design and allocate STEM-based resources for youth. The research team will employ an ethnographic design to understand how integrating STEM lessons in under-resourced schools can advance equitable learning...
This Project Grant award of $725,836, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports the integration of a culturally relevant digital curriculum into U.S. science dual language immersion programs. The project aims to enhance science education accessibility and engagement for marginalized students, particularly Latinx youth, by incorporating indigenous knowledge and epistemologies alongside Western science. The grantee, Georgia State...
This $299,963 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of culturally and linguistically sustaining STEM pedagogies using mixed-reality simulations at the University of West Florida from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.
