- This $108,603 National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award to Chico State Enterprises aims to develop and evaluate a pedagogical approach for assessing individual student contributions to team software engineering projects. The goal is to create rigorous methods for evaluating the quality of software artifacts produced by students in team-based courses, which will strengthen software engineering education by enabling valid, reliable, and practical...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to investigate innovative strategies for effective teamwork in engineering education. The $333,551 project, awarded on July 15, 2025, will be conducted by the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2028. The project plans to implement and assess a teamwork intervention, while also conducting a nationwide survey and interviews with...
- This $600,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support Texas State University in developing equitable group work strategies for proof-based undergraduate mathematics courses. Over a two-year period ending December 2025, the university will design and implement instructor workshops on incorporating group-worthy tasks adapted from K-12 complex instruction principles. It will also study the...
- This $379,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to implement and study evidence-based teaching practices that promote equitable collaboration in undergraduate data science courses at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo and California State University, Monterey Bay. The overarching goal is to understand how small group experiences, specifically pair programming, can be designed to create...
- This $499,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve student learning and engagement in mechanical engineering courses at the University of New Mexico. The project will introduce the concept of "organizational citizenship behavior" into the classroom, encouraging engineering students to collaborate, share ideas, and support one another. Through structured learning activities, the project will demonstrate how...
- This $900,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support North Carolina State University in developing a low-cost augmented reality platform that integrates force sensing and visualization capabilities to enhance physics education. The project aims to create an affordable tablet-based system and complementary curriculum modules covering Newtonian mechanics and electrodynamics, targeting high school students. The goal...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $464,597 will fund research to characterize active learning environments in physics education and relate classroom features to student outcomes. The award was made under the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education program (CFDA 47.076) to support the creation and implementation of promising STEM education practices. Specifically, the funding will support a collaborative research project between Drexel University and Wright...
This $129,990 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve students' teamwork and collaboration skills in the context of learning physics. The project, awarded to Chico State Enterprises, will develop and test a classroom intervention using socio-metacognitive practices to support effective group work in physics courses at two institutions. The intervention includes activities like reading, case study analysis, team charters, and action planning. The investigators will assess the impact of the teamwork instruction on students' skills and group dynamics. They will also conduct faculty workshops to share instructional materials and promote adoption of teamwork instruction in STEM classrooms. This work supports the program's goal of enhancing STEM education and preparing students for successful STEM careers.
