- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,999 Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Delaware to conduct a systematic review of research on teacher professional learning in mathematics and science. The three-year project aims to synthesize the existing research on how teacher professional development influences teacher beliefs, knowledge, and practices in order to develop a new, next-generation framework to guide and improve STEM teacher...
- This federal Project Grant award of $350,066, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Dr. Yager at Indiana University. The fellowship, mentored by Dr. Nyarko, aims to advance research in geoscience education, specifically investigating teamwork process skills in field-based learning. The project will design and implement teamwork intervention lessons for geoscience students to connect teamwork skills...
- This $303,700 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to develop a teaching tool to improve teamwork skills for physics students, particularly future K-12 teachers. The project, led by Western Washington University, will create a flexible set of lessons focused on building students' "socio-metacognition" - the awareness of how groups think and work together. The tool will be developed in collaboration with instructors at...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) awarded a $349,974 project grant to the University of Tulsa to develop the principal investigator's skills in qualitative research methods for STEM education research. The goal is to investigate differences in science identity development between STEM undergraduate students engaged in research opportunities, laboratory-based student work, and non-laboratory student work. The project will utilize qualitative analysis,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to advance understanding of the central role that academic departments play in transforming undergraduate education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The $176,893 award to the University of Colorado Boulder will conduct a landscape study on effective departmental change strategies and establish an inclusive community network to share best practices. The...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $348,587.00 and issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports the development of advanced statistical modeling skills by the Principal Investigator (PI) to better understand factors influencing undergraduate student persistence in STEM fields. The PI will complete statistical coursework and work with a mentor team to build complex statistical models using data from the Higher Education Research...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) Project Grant award of $129,990 to Chico State Enterprises at California State University, Chico aims to improve students' teamwork and collaboration skills in the context of learning physics. The project will develop and test a classroom intervention using the framework of socio-metacognition, which provides communication and reflection practices to support productive teamwork. The intervention will be implemented in...
This NSF-funded Project Grant under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $350,000 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct a pilot study investigating how members of STEM-related teams build relationships through the transfer of knowledge and practices from various professional development experiences. The project aims to generate insights that can impact the training and development of STEM teams in school settings, academia, and industry. Key activities include the PI developing foundational skills in qualitative research methods, engaging in training on qualitative interviewing, and building knowledge on relations theory and learning transfer. The project will examine how individuals within teams utilize prior professional development to promote effective teamwork and how team members serve as boundary spanners in building team relationships. Findings from this 3-year project will be shared through professional development workshops with STEM teams.
