- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support the development of a virtual classroom platform that uses large language model (LLM) simulated agents to facilitate collaborative learning of mathematical modeling for middle-school students. The $321,873 project aims to increase equitable access to effective mathematics education, particularly for students from under-resourced communities, by leveraging generative AI techniques....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education Program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $250,000 to the University of Virginia aims to develop, implement, and evaluate web-based AI-powered teaching simulation tools that will improve evidence-based mathematics teaching practices. The project will create a suite of open-source simulations to support pre-service teachers in fostering rich mathematical discourse in their classrooms. It will also produce open data sets of mathematical...
- This Project Grant award of $575,142.00 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to compare the effectiveness of using virtual reality artificial intelligence simulations versus peer teaching to prepare undergraduate STEM education students to teach science in K-12 schools. The project, led by the University of West Florida in partnership with Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M University, Kennesaw State University, and Drake University, will...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), supports a collaborative research initiative to build capacity for teacher and student AI fluency in middle schools across Texas and New York. The $114,371 project, awarded on September 15, 2025, will run through August 31, 2027. The primary awardee is The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY), which will work directly with 60 teachers and academic technology...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to enhance critical thinking and independent learning among undergraduate students through the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in computer science classes. The project will implement and evaluate the Socratic Metacognitive Inquiry-Based Learning Environment (SMILE), a framework that combines structured Socratic questioning with metacognitive reflection to help students...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $900,000 to North Carolina State University to develop innovative, AI-powered online learning environments that promote the learning-by-teaching approach. The project aims to design and empirically evaluate a novel integration of a teachable agent, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI to support students' acquisition of both procedural and conceptual knowledge...
- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
This Project Grant award of $385,877 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of a simulated classroom environment that allows elementary school teachers to practice facilitating student discussions with AI-driven avatars. The goal is to provide teachers with low-cost, low-stakes opportunities to improve their discussion facilitation skills, which are critical for fostering students' argumentation and critical thinking abilities. The project integrates research in artificial intelligence, argumentation, and teacher learning to create an automated professional development system that leverages a hybrid AI architecture. This system will include a transparent, rule-based symbolic inference engine to structure the simulated classroom dialogue and provide meaningful feedback to the teachers. The project will be carried out by Montclair State University, a public research university in New Jersey, over the period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
