Project Grant 2441530
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $319,382 Project Grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to Kent State University. The award aims to improve 4th-6th grade students' self-regulated learning and fraction knowledge through a research study. The project will evaluate the impact of metacognitive training strategies, where students learn to assess their own understanding, on fraction learning, transfer of knowledge, and self-awareness of what they know and don't know....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) Program award of $449,918 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska aims to develop and test the feasibility of an early childhood (EC) science professional development (PD) model to strengthen rural early childhood educators' (ECEs) science content knowledge, reflective practice, and use of science talk in their interactions with young children. The project seeks to empower ECEs to effectively integrate...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $630,876 to Idaho State University (ISU) to examine how undergraduate students construct and critique knowledge claims during course-based research experiences and summer research at a biological field station. The research project aims to develop a better understanding of how to foster undergraduate students' agency to shape science practices, in order to prepare them as leaders and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award, titled "Supporting Elementary Students' Self-Regulated Learning and Fraction Knowledge", provides $102,209 to the Trustees of Indiana University to investigate methods for improving 4th-6th graders' fraction learning, transfer of learning, and metacognitive abilities. The research will evaluate strategies for enhancing students' self-awareness of their fraction knowledge and decision-making skills through reflective...
- This $213,393 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enhance science learning and collaboration for undergraduate students in biology and biochemistry. The project will use qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze how social metacognition, or the awareness and regulation of another's thinking, impacts collaboration in these science contexts. Key objectives are to characterize social metacognition and determine how...
- This $399,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and test technology-based interventions to help introductory biology students improve self-regulation and learning. The project, led by the University of Colorado, will engage over 2,000 introductory biology students annually in reflective practices focused on motivation, metacognition, and self-regulation. The interventions will be integrated into a...
- This $247,817 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation's Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to examine how K-12 teachers engage with and apply professional learning content in their classroom practice. The study employs a narrative inquiry approach to explore teachers' understanding, decision-making, and contextual factors that shape their implementation of research-based instructional...
- This $1.7 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development of a novel AI-powered student support system to improve metacognitive calibration skills at the University of Illinois from August 2022 to July 2025. The project aims to research methods for enhancing students' ability to accurately estimate their own level of knowledge using short, personalized training exercises delivered through a decentralized AI framework....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $199,920 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York. The grant, titled "RAPID: Exploring an AI Literacies Framework for Young Children: A Delphi Study," will develop an interdisciplinary framework for early childhood education (ECE) on artificial intelligence (AI). The project will convene a panel of 30 diverse experts from the fields of AI, child...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,462,768 Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the Regents of the University of Idaho. The grant, titled "CAREER: Supporting Metacognition to Strengthen Early Childhood Science Teaching and Learning in Rural Idaho", will explore strategies to help preschool and kindergarten teachers in rural Idaho support the development of metacognitive skills in young children during inquiry-based science activities. The project includes three interconnected studies: 1) assessing current science instruction and identifying features that support or hinder metacognitive engagement, 2) examining the impact of different types of feedback on children's metacognitive development, and 3) developing a professional development program to help teachers strengthen young children's reasoning and reflection in science learning. The findings will contribute to improving early childhood science instruction and offer practical guidance for teacher education and professional development.
