The project team will randomly assign end-of-semester students to problem sets varying only...
- This $172,921 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research and development to improve organic chemistry education. The University of Northern Colorado will conduct three studies and develop instructional materials to better understand how undergraduate students learn from and apply different molecular representations in organic chemistry problem solving. Specifically, the university will randomly assign problem sets using chemical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $299,134 Project Grant to the University of South Florida (USF) to develop assessment tools for evaluating students' understanding of organic chemistry reaction mechanisms. The 3-year project aims to design computer-based scoring models using machine learning text analysis to assess students' written explanations of organic chemistry concepts. The project will also provide professional development...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $299,636 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The University of Iowa. This grant aims to characterize how undergraduate chemistry students engage in science practices and to develop assessment resources that instructors can use to provide feedback and evaluate student performance on these skills. The project will observe student behaviors and analyze work products in introductory, organic, and advanced chemistry...
- This $197,819 Project Grant, awarded on October 1, 2023 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to develop undergraduate chemistry students' competency in scientific practices and their self-efficacy in carrying out those practices. The project team, consisting of researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and California State University, Fullerton, plans to implement a novel approach to engaging chemistry learners in science...
- This $298,962 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a collaborative research project between the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to study connections between instructional practices and student learning outcomes related to molecular symmetry concepts in inorganic chemistry courses. The researchers will characterize teaching methods, course environments, and student...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $347,748 to Portland State University to conduct research and develop a measure of undergraduate chemistry students' goal orientation. The project aims to characterize chemistry-specific academic goals and create the Chemistry-Specific Goal Orientation (CGO) measure, which will allow instructors to better understand the impact of pedagogies and course structure on student...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) in the amount of $868,229 provides funding to North Dakota State University to develop a standardized assessment instrument to measure college students' understanding of green chemistry concepts. The project, titled "CAREER: Standardized Polytomous Assessment for Community Explorations in Green Chemistry Education," will create a research-based assessment tool to enable chemistry instructors to better evaluate the impact of green chemistry curriculum innovations on student learning. The award will also fund professional development for faculty to support the adoption of evidence-based instructional practices related to green chemistry. This work aims to improve green chemistry education in undergraduate organic chemistry courses and prepare students to address real-world sustainability challenges. The project will run from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2030.
