- This Project Grant award of $736,187 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to determine why observing an instructor draw diagrams during STEM lessons, particularly in video-based instruction, helps students learn better. The University of Georgia Research Foundation will conduct a series of experiments to systematically test two main explanations: attentional guidance and action observation. The findings are expected to contribute...
- This $698,065 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to The Trustees of Princeton University. The award is intended to support behavioral experiments with adults that explore how the heterogeneity, or diversity, of scientific explanations for STEM topics affects understanding, question-asking, and learning. The research aims to provide insights into how having multiple explanations for the same phenomenon can promote...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses.
