The...
- This $300,000 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), will support research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to advance the cognitive science of active learning in STEM courses. Over a two-year period, the fellow will conduct three controlled experiments manipulating dosage schedules and order of active learning and lecture components. The research aims to pinpoint instructional features that maximize equity,...
- This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support research into student motivation and engagement in introductory general education science courses, with a focus on written communication and critical thinking skills. The principal investigator (PI) will develop foundational skills and gain practical experience in designing and implementing mixed-methods STEM education research, including the use of...
- This $113,370 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to transform introductory engineering courses at a Hispanic-serving two-year college. The goal is to enhance student success and interest in pursuing STEM degrees through a project-based learning approach. The award will fund the development of quasi-independent, low-cost classroom materials and curricula that provide early-career engineering students with significant...
- 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 $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to increase summer undergraduate research and internship opportunities for students attending a Hispanic-Serving two-year college. The project combines research experiences, academic coaching, STEM learning communities, and professional skill development to promote student success, retention in STEM majors, degree completion, and transfer to a four-year university. Key...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,258,941 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) to create a culture of STEM research at a two-year college. The project aims to develop and implement an array of early undergraduate research experiences for diverse STEM students at CCBC, prior to transferring to a four-year university. Key objectives include creating STEM research courses, providing student research...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to improve research experiences for college students pursuing degrees in STEM fields and math/science teacher preparation programs. The $399,465 award to the University of California, Berkeley will fund the development of curricula for university research methods courses to strengthen student learning and research outcomes. It will also provide mentor workshops and coaching seminars to enhance teaching and mentoring for undergraduate research students, with the goal of impacting thousands of K-12 students and cultivating their interest in STEM careers. The project seeks to achieve two primary objectives: 1) developing course materials and professional activities to enhance learning and build confidence among undergraduate researchers, and 2) designing workshops to introduce graduate student mentors to effective teaching and mentoring practices.
