The model provides the fellows with a highly...
This $115,335 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of the Distributed Open Education Network (DOENET) platform by Cornell University. DOENET aims to empower faculty to design and test online learning experiments for open educational mathematics content. It will provide tools for authoring interactive content, conducting educational research using that content, and discovering effective content based on research results. The platform reduces barriers to developing...
This $1,697,005 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in advancing knowledge related to STEM education through a multi-faceted research and training program. The key components include: Dissertation grants and small research grants to support fundamental STEM education research based on secondary data analysis of large-scale datasets. This will build research and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award of $1,250,000 under the STEM Education Program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the "Cornell Interdisciplinary Education Research Postdoctoral Cohort" project. The project will recruit three postdoctoral fellows to join Cornell University's discipline-based education research (DBER) community and develop as future leaders in STEM education. The postdoctoral fellows will conduct interdisciplinary and multi-institutional education research projects, receive professional development, and engage in activities to promote STEM education at the national level. This includes hosting a regional DBER conference and providing workshops on developing DBER scholars. The project aims to nurture an inclusive community of emerging STEM education scholars and have broader impacts on STEM education through the fellows' research and dissemination efforts. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
