This $399,988 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to develop and test technology-based interventions to help introductory biology students improve self-regulation and learning. The project, led by the University of Colorado, will engage over 2,000 introductory biology students annually in reflective practices focused on motivation, metacognition, and self-regulation. The interventions will be integrated into a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $299,762, provided through the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program, supports a postdoctoral fellowship focused on "Humanizing Biology Content to Enhance Undergraduate Learning and Intent to Persist in Science". The key objectives are to: 1) Assess the extent to which "humanized" content (integrating science and social justice issues) is prioritized in national biology education initiatives and assessments; 2)...
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,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Willamette University a $389,544 Project Grant through its STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076) to develop, evaluate, and disseminate a Skill-Based Curricular Overlay (SBCO) for introductory psychology courses at 2-year and 4-year colleges. The SBCO aims to bolster scientific thinking skills in addition to content coverage, meeting the recognized need to incorporate stronger scientific thinking training in...
This $637,236 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research to investigate how students develop principle-based reasoning in undergraduate physiology courses. The project aims to build learning theory that describes how students coordinate scientific knowledge to develop this form of conceptual understanding, which can reduce reliance on rote memorization. Researchers at Michigan State University, the University of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $398,236 to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to create a sustainable, adaptable framework for fostering critical thinking and inspiring diverse learners in STEM fields. The project aims to promote sustained interest and critical statistical thinking across undergraduate STEM education by implementing a novel two-course cross-level structure that pairs advanced...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $322,475 project grant under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program to the University of Wisconsin System. This three-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, supports research to investigate how students develop principle-based reasoning in undergraduate physiology courses. The project aims to develop learning theory that describes how students coordinate their conceptual knowledge and metacognitive processes to reason based on fundamental...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is intended to enhance undergraduate research experiences for community college students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
