The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), through its Sponsored Projects Services division, was awarded a $260,101 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program. This 2-year grant, commencing on March 1, 2024, will fund a research-practice partnership to explore new computational literacies for emergent bilingual learners.
The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:
- Developing computer science curriculum and professional development materials that leverage students' language use and translanguaging practices.
- Conducting case studies to illustrate how students use language to talk about computing in and outside of schools, and how teachers learn with the professional development.
- Producing new models for how translanguaging approaches can support emergent bilinguals and other students in learning computational literacies, how computational literacy use outside of school can connect to school-based practices, and how professional development can help teachers infuse computational literacies into middle school curricula.
The grant's objectives align with the NSF STEM Education program's goals of enhancing STEM learning and teaching through research and development projects.
