- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $349,974 project grant to the University of Tulsa to develop the principal investigator's skills in qualitative research methods for STEM education research. The goal is to investigate differences in science identity development between STEM undergraduate students engaged in research opportunities, laboratory-based student work, and non-laboratory student work. The project will utilize qualitative analysis,...
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 students during this critical juncture and improve long-term STEM outcomes. The project will also include teacher and parent education activities to help them foster students' STEM skills and engagement. The findings are expected to have important implications for educational policy and practice.
