Key efforts include enhancing a teachable agent...
- This $149,983 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop, implement, and evaluate web-based AI-driven classroom simulation tools that will improve evidence-based mathematics teaching practices. The project will create a suite of open-source simulations to support pre-service teachers in fostering rich mathematical discourse in their classrooms. It will also produce open data sets of mathematical dialogue and...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), is for a project titled "Exploration and Adaptation of Experience Sampling to Understand the Impact of Artificial Intelligence Tools on the Work of Teaching." The $499,715 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to examine, adapt, and deploy instrumentation that can help researchers investigate the impact of generative AI on teacher work and efficiency....
- This federal Project Grant award of $142,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will enable Iowa State University to develop a simulated classroom environment for elementary school teachers to practice facilitating discussions with AI-driven student avatars. The system will integrate research in artificial intelligence, argumentation, and teacher learning to provide teachers with low-cost, low-stakes opportunities to improve their discussion...
This $575,142 NSF IUSE: EDU Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2025 and scheduled for completion by September 30, 2029, aims to serve the national need for a globally competitive STEM workforce by preparing approximately 250 undergraduate STEM education students across five institutions to more effectively teach K-12 students. The project will investigate the use of two instructional practice modalities - virtual reality artificial intelligence avatar simulations and scaffolded peer teaching - to help future educators develop the skills needed to facilitate discussions of scientifically relevant real-world problems. Through a mixed-methods approach, the study will collect data on the impact of these innovative teaching experiences on preservice teachers' performance and preparedness to teach science in K-12 schools.
