This Project Grant award of $279,988 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to explore how high school teachers' comfort with ambiguity in instructional situations, known as "tolerance for ambiguity" (T4A), affects science teaching and learning. The project aims to co-develop a professional learning program to help teachers become more comfortable with ambiguity, and to test the impact of this program on teachers' instruction and...
This $1,200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support a convergent research effort to study the dynamics of ambiguity, uncertainty, and confusion (AU&C) in STEM education. The project will develop methods for collecting and analyzing longitudinal, multimodal data from students to understand how individuals and groups productively engage with AU&C during STEM problem-solving and learning....
Arizona State University received a $442,293 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The grant will support ASU's project "Managing Uncertainty for Productive Struggle: Exploring Teacher Development for Managing Students' Epistemic Uncertainty as a Pedagogical Resource in Project-Based Learning." The project aims to explore how to help teachers...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $1,785,274 to investigate changes in teachers' classroom practices after participating in different professional development models. The 4-year study, beginning in September 2024, will examine six prior NSF-funded professional development projects to better understand effective factors associated with teacher uptake, learning, and impact. The research team, led by...
This $1,514,073 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate how to support middle grades science teachers in integrating data literacy and sensemaking into their instruction. The project uses an instructional framework called "Data Puzzles" to develop teacher professional learning resources and models for helping teachers confidently incorporate data exploration and analysis into their science...
This $559,342 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to foster a STEM + medicine learning ecosystem that brings together secondary teachers in historically under-resourced schools and local STEM professionals to co-design and allocate STEM-based resources for youth. The research team will employ an ethnographic design to understand how integrating STEM lessons in under-resourced schools can advance equitable learning...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) award of $804,337 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth supports a four-year project titled "Collaborative Research: Teaching for the Anthropocene: Teacher Learning and Practice for Critical Systems Thinking." The project aims to develop and research a teacher professional development program that helps middle and high school science teachers across three geographic settings (San Francisco Bay Area,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $653,723 project grant under its Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program to the University of Illinois. The 4-year project will develop and test a professional development model that empowers high school science teachers to adapt curriculum materials to integrate students' knowledge and community resources. Working with education researchers, teachers, scientists, and community organizations, the project teams will go through cycles of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to address the national need for preparing high-quality science teachers. The project at Eastern Washington University will engage 20 prospective science teachers over five years in year-long independent research experiences paired with professional development seminars. The goal is to increase the participants' understanding of the nature of science, self-efficacy in...
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. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
