- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) totaling $499,134 aims to develop inclusive, interactive educational games for STEM learning that utilize cost-effective refreshable braille displays (RBDs). The goal is to enhance braille literacy and STEM skills for blind and visually impaired elementary school children. The project seeks to bridge the braille literacy gap by leveraging advancements in haptic assistive technologies to...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 project grant to support integrating rational number sense from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023. The grant was awarded under the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in these fields. The grant will fund work to develop students' understanding and ability to apply rational numbers. Over the two-year period, the grantee will research how instructional methods...
- This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to enhance learning and motivation in introductory programming courses at Georgia Gwinnett College, a Hispanic-serving institution. The key products and services to be delivered include: Integrating research-supported pedagogies and automated tools to accommodate diverse learning styles, including hiring and mentoring a diverse group of peer tutors and producing a video library to...
This $343,330 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the design and development of educational games focused on teaching integer concepts to elementary school students. The goal is to help students better understand positive and negative numbers before they learn algebra in middle school, with the aim of improving their motivation, mathematical understanding, and preparation for advanced STEM coursework. The grant recipient, George Fox University, will use an iterative design and testing process, incorporating feedback from experts and students, to refine the educational games. A six-session evaluation study will assess students' integer knowledge gains and changes in their mathematics motivation after using the games. The project runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Feb 28, 2029, with the intent of creating learning tools that can help overcome common barriers to algebra for elementary students.
