The project aims to advance research and practice around adult engagement in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award, titled "Promoting Investigators' Capacity in STEM Education Literature Synthesis" (CFDA 47.076 STEM Education), provides $999,888 over three years from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to Terc, Inc., a non-profit organization. The project aims to train STEM education researchers, including those from underrepresented groups and minority-serving institutions, to conduct and publish rigorous qualitative meta-synthesis...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $502,000.00 to Purdue University to examine how K-12 teachers interpret, adapt, and implement research-based instructional practices learned through professional learning programs. The 3-year study (9/1/2025 - 8/31/2028) uses a narrative inquiry approach, including teacher interviews, classroom observations, and reflective activities, to understand teachers' decision-making...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to investigate how members of STEM teams build relationships through knowledge transfer from professional development activities. The project will allow the Principal Investigator (PI) to develop skills in qualitative research methods, including interviewing, and gain practical experience in STEM education research. The findings will be shared through professional development...
- This $139,691 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to investigate the impact of using video-based analysis to improve STEM teacher preparation, effectiveness, and retention in high-need school districts. The project will engage approximately 200 future and current STEM teachers across seven universities in video-based analysis activities within teacher preparation programs and induction support. The research will examine how...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $118,728 Project Grant under its STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) to investigate the impact of video-based analysis of classroom teaching on STEM teacher preparation, effectiveness, and retention. The project aims to engage approximately 200 future and current STEM teachers across seven geographically diverse institutions in video-based analysis activities as part of their teacher preparation programs...
- This $640,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a 9-month training institute to improve the methodological skills of STEM education researchers for conducting modern meta-analyses. The institute will provide online pre-workshop activities, a 5-day in-person intensive workshop, and post-workshop support to enable participants to develop meta-analysis research projects that explore the effectiveness of STEM education...
- This $515,428 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program supports the development of new statistical methods and research tools for conducting small-sample studies of teaching and learning in STEM fields. The research project, led by the University of Cincinnati, aims to derive new estimation procedures for cross-classified structural equation models that can generate robust findings from studies with smaller sample sizes, which is a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $499,999 to the University of Delaware to conduct a systematic review of research on teacher professional learning in mathematics and science. The goal is to develop a new, next-generation framework (theory of change) that will inform efforts to improve the quality of STEM teacher professional development programs nationwide. The 3-year synthesis project involves a mixed-method review to distill insights about how teacher professional learning influences teacher beliefs, knowledge, and practice. The expected outcomes will enable states, districts, and schools to strengthen STEM teacher professional learning, leading to more effective instruction and improved STEM engagement and learning for students. This work aims to increase the field's capacity to transform and strengthen teacher effectiveness in mathematics and science.
