The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Texas A&M University $1.989 million on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and study an AI-guided professional learning model for pre-service mathematics teachers. The project will create interactive AI-guided modules that strengthen pre-service mathematics teachers' content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and mathematical creativity. Through these modules, pre-service teachers will engage in flexible problem solving, problem posing, instructional analysis, and structured reflection on teaching practices that promote creative mathematical thinking. The AI system will function as a cognitive partner, delivering adaptive prompts, scaffolded feedback, and metacognitive questioning tailored to individual learners. The professional learning model will focus on fraction computation and rate and proportional reasoning instruction. The recipient will implement and study the model across eight geographically diverse teacher preparation institutions, including rural-serving and urban-serving universities. The model is designed to be accessible, adaptive, and scalable across diverse institutional contexts. Work is performed at Texas A&M University's College Station, Texas campus. The period of performance runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031. This is a Level 3 Engaged Student Learning project within the NSF's STEM Education program, designed to address persistent shortages of well-prepared mathematics teachers in rural and high-need communities by leveraging artificial intelligence to provide personalized feedback and structured guidance at scale.
