Awarded to Southern Oregon University on October 1, 2022 and set to be completed by September 30, 2025, the grant enables a research-practitioner partnership involving 20 teachers. The partnership will examine how CT concepts become more...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will provide $114,371 from September 2025 to August 2027 to support a collaborative research effort between two school districts in Texas and New York and three universities. The project aims to build capacity for teacher and student AI fluency in middle schools by exploring how to effectively embed the use and understanding of AI into core middle school subjects like science, language arts, and...
- This $269,401 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support a research-practice partnership between the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) and a Pre-K to 5th grade school. The goal is to develop and validate a sequential, grade-based curriculum and assessment system for embedding computational thinking (CT) skills across all subjects in the school's curriculum. Through iterative inquiry cycles within...
- This $348,706 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop and implement a curricular program for middle-school students in community-based settings. The program will focus on building data visualization skills to help students become critical consumers and interpreters of data. The research goals are to provide empirical evidence of middle school students building data visualization practices through learning technologies and to...
- This $568,584 collaborative research project, awarded by 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 project will bring together experts in computer science, human-computer interaction, science education, and K-12 teaching to co-design the learning environment. The AR...
- This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), seeks to develop new technological and pedagogical frameworks to integrate data modeling and agent-based modeling into middle school environmental science curricula. The $1,293,270 award to the University of California, Berkeley will fund the creation of three technology-rich instructional units that leverage existing web-based software tools, CODAP and MODA, to allow students...
- This $1,463,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will develop and refine "Data Adventures", a series of open-access, modular instructional units designed to introduce middle school students, including those with learning disabilities, to data literacy, computational thinking, and digital storytelling. The award will also promote critical understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) and its role in education,...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $1,168,253 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences (AIR) for a 4-year collaborative research initiative to develop a professional learning model for integrating computational thinking into grades 6-8 science classrooms. The project will support middle school science teachers' professional vision and adaptive expertise for computational thinking-infused instruction through instructional coaching, professional development workshops, and an online community. This effort aims to empower teachers to design, enact, and adapt computational thinking-integrated science lessons that foster positive student attitudes and enhance their knowledge of science and computational thinking. The project will serve over 1,000 students directly and position the professional learning model for potential scale-up to benefit teachers and students nationwide.
