This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory social sciences education by integrating modern digital skills into the Introduction to Psychology course. The $399,747 project, running from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027, will redesign the course to teach essential digital workforce skills like data analytics, programming, and web development alongside core psychology concepts. By emphasizing project-based, interdisciplinary learning, the initiative seeks to deepen student understanding of psychology while inspiring exploration of digital technology fields, particularly among women and underrepresented groups. The project will create open educational resources and provide scaffolding support, such as peer mentoring and pair programming, to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Evaluation will measure the effectiveness of this integrated, digital-infused curriculum in improving students' digital skills, academic performance, and career intentions.
