Project Grant 2437207
- The National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $928,922 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. The 5-year project, starting on August 1, 2025, will examine how self-regulation skills and classroom experiences influence math achievement and attitudes as students transition from 2nd to 3rd grade, particularly in high-poverty schools. The research aims to identify strategies to better support...
- This $750,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve mathematics education for pre-service K-8 teachers at Arizona State University. The project will integrate visual computing technology and the engineering design process into an upper-division mathematics methods course, engaging approximately 180 pre-service teachers per year. Research will study the effectiveness of this interdisciplinary approach in...
- This $1,783,246 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create online curricula and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools to facilitate productive classroom discussions on geometric concepts. The project has three key goals: 1) develop online modules to train future teachers on using technology to lead productive...
- This $426,178 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development, assessment, and refinement of "Key Abstracts" - concise, infographic-type resources for communicating mathematics-focused practitioner articles to a teacher audience. The project aims to address the persistent challenge of the gap between research and classroom practice in mathematics education. By embedding teacher perspectives throughout the...
- This $237,013 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research project to improve undergraduate mathematics instruction through a values-centered collaboration between mathematics education researchers and mathematics instructors. The project aims to: 1) characterize instructors' norms and values around mathematical definitions and identify barriers/supports in communicating them to students; 2) identify...
- This $330,021 STEM Education Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (CFDA 47.076) awarded by the National Science Foundation supports a two-year project to advance community-engaged mentoring approaches for prospective secondary mathematics teachers. The project aims to: (1) develop a theory of community-engaged mentoring to support justice-oriented pedagogies, (2) increase understanding of mentoring practices related to justice-oriented mathematics teaching, and (3) create a new model for secondary...
- This $943,979 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the University of South Alabama's Pathway to Mathematics II initiative. The project aims to recruit and prepare 20 highly qualified mathematics teachers over five years through a master's degree program integrating mathematics pedagogy and content coursework. It will serve teachers produced by the original Pathway to Mathematics project and focus on attracting racially and...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of four curricular modules to foster STEM thinking and integration in mathematics courses for elementary education majors at Marquette University. The modules aim to provide authentic problem-solving experiences for pre-service teachers related to quantitative relationships using ratios, proportions, scaling, measurement and estimation. Informed by the Next Generation Science Standards, Standards for Technological...
- The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York received a $700,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The grant aims to improve secondary mathematics education through a teacher preparation program that emphasizes community, equity, and inclusion. Over 5 years, the project will recruit 24 undergraduate mathematics majors and prepare them to become effective middle and high school mathematics teachers for...
- This $564,686 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports Loyola University of Chicago in providing pre-service secondary science and mathematics teachers authentic STEM research experiences in biodiversity studies through a summer program. Over five years, the university aims to mentor 40 prospective teachers pursuing biology, ecology, or environmental science degrees through hands-on research and professional development opportunities...
This five-year $815,789 CAREER grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will investigate the design of an after-school mathematics program to expand conceptions of mathematics for both elementary students and their teachers. The project, conducted by Northwestern University, seeks to create a community of practice that encourages students to view mathematics as creative and engaging, while also helping teachers develop their capacity to recognize and value diverse forms of mathematical participation and interest. Key activities include an iterative design process, a teacher professional learning community, and data collection focused on design features, principles, and underlying theory that contribute to expanding students' understanding and participation in mathematics. The goal is to identify effective approaches for supporting recreational mathematics activities and broadening perceptions of what it means to "do mathematics" for both students and teachers.
