The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), awarded a $399,997 project grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska to develop and research improved teaching strategies for supporting students' science civic engagement in a large-enrollment introductory science course. The project aims to create an evidence-based classroom model that incorporates experiential learning activities to help students connect science knowledge and skills to societal decision-making. Key deliverables include instructional strategies, workshops, online guides, and publications to disseminate the findings on implementing experiential learning in large STEM classrooms. The project will evaluate the impact of the instructional approaches on students' development of science literacy skills and science civic engagement, addressing research questions related to the influence of experiential learning and explicit civic engagement guidance. The award period runs from August 2024 to July 2027.
