This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $254,022, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The project aims to develop a novel teaching and assessment approach to better document and evaluate individual student contributions to team software development projects in undergraduate computing education.

The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  1. An assessment framework to gauge student attainment of learning outcomes targeted by collaborative software development projects
  2. A pedagogical approach that integrates the assessment framework into computing courses
  3. Validation of the assessment framework and pedagogical approach through a rigorous empirical study involving computing instructors, students, software professionals, and a learning scientist.

The project is expected to run from April 2025 through March 2028, and will help advance undergraduate STEM education by improving methods to assess students engaged in team-based software projects. The framework developed is designed to be flexible and adaptable across a broad range of STEM courses, with the goal of better preparing students for teamwork in the professional workforce.
