- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $299,636 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to The University of Iowa. This grant aims to characterize how undergraduate chemistry students engage in science practices and to develop assessment resources that instructors can use to provide feedback and evaluate student performance on these skills. The project will observe student behaviors and analyze work products in introductory, organic, and advanced chemistry...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, aims to explore the use of augmented reality (AR) as an educational tool in undergraduate chemistry courses. The $139,044 collaborative project between Indiana University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison will investigate how AR applications can enhance student learning and engagement with complex spatial concepts, using molecular symmetry as a test case. The research will identify key features of AR tools that contribute to student understanding, examine how students with different learning approaches utilize these tools, and explore how faculty can effectively incorporate them into classroom instruction. The outcomes of this project will help inform best practices for using AR in chemistry education and shape the future development of AR tools for STEM learning.
