The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $387,742 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to study the effects of supplemental mathematics assignments and artificial intelligence–generated hints on learning outcomes in introductory undergraduate physics courses. The project investigates how optional supports—practice problems targeting mathematics skills related to physics content and AI-generated hints for homework questions—affect student performance and persistence in introductory physics courses for physical science and life science majors. The research team will employ situated expectancy-value theory of achievement motivation to examine factors shaping student use of and engagement with these supports, applying mixed-methods analysis combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. The award is designated a Level 1 Project within NSF's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE: EDU) Engaged Student Learning track and addresses variation in student mathematical preparation that correlates with performance disparities and attrition from the physical sciences. Work is performed at UCLA's Los Angeles campus and runs through September 30, 2028.
