Project Grant 2506946
- This federal Project Grant award of $599,649 from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and test an AI assistant, the Representational Reasoning Assistant (RRA), to help middle school students interpret science diagrams, graphs, and charts. The three-year project, awarded to Indiana University, will adapt multimodal large language models to provide visual-focused, pedagogically-supportive feedback to students on interpreting scientific...
- 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 $192,790 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of curricular materials to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) tools into high school computer science (CS) education. The project, led by the Institute for Advancing Computing Education, a non-profit organization in Peoria, Illinois, is investigating the knowledge and skills students need to successfully use AI in pair programming activities. The resulting...
- This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
- This $241,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning environment integrated with a large language model (LLM)-powered pedagogical agent to guide middle school students' modeling practice in science. The key objectives are to: 1) build AR simulations for modeling tasks, 2) develop an on-device LLM to assess diagrammatic models, and 3) investigate student modeling practice within the...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $142,000.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will fund the development of a simulated classroom environment that allows elementary school teachers to practice facilitation skills using AI-driven student avatars. The goal is to create an automated professional development system that provides teachers with low-cost, low-stakes opportunities to improve their ability to facilitate classroom...
- This $300,841 project grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support Carnegie Mellon University to develop and research an artificial intelligence (AI) across the curriculum program for high school students. Over three years, the university team will create introductory and advanced AI modules for mathematics, English language arts, and history. They will also design $60k in professional development for 12 teachers to implement the modules across...
- 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 Project Grant award of $349,516, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports the development of an AI-supported tool to analyze and assess mathematical argumentation in elementary classrooms. The key products and services to be delivered through this 3-year award, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, include the development of a scalable tool that combines AI, psychometrics,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) learning environment integrated with a large language model (LLM)-powered pedagogical agent to guide middle school students' science modeling practice. The $568,584 project, awarded to the University of Nevada, Reno, has three core objectives: 1) building AR simulations for modeling tasks, 2) developing an on-device multitask LLM to assess student-created...
This $299,990 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund the development, implementation, and testing of a new AI assistant called the Representational Reasoning Assistant (RRA). The goal is to help middle school students interpret science diagrams, graphs, and charts in their classrooms. The RRA will leverage generative AI technologies to engage students in conversations about representations assigned by their teachers, ask guiding questions, and provide suggestions to help students make sense of the content. The project will involve iterative cycles of exploration, development, piloting, and model refinements, focusing on the types of representations used in science activities and teacher feedback. This interdisciplinary effort between learning sciences and computer science teams aims to advance research and practices in AI, computer science, learning sciences, and STEM learning. The grant will support recruiting teachers and students from urban, suburban, and rural schools over the 3-year project period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
