Through these modules, pre-service...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded the University of New Hampshire $749,999 on October 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop, implement, and evaluate AI-enabled instructional modules that enhance self-regulated learning skills in undergraduate calculus education. The project will design and test innovative modules targeting time management, problem-solving, and exam preparation through a design-based research methodology comprising four iterative cycles. The research will evaluate the impact of self-regulated learning interventions on calculus students' learning outcomes, motivation, and self-regulated learning skills; compare effectiveness and cognitive processes across three interaction modes—AI-bot, video, and text—and explore students' perceptions of AI-bot assistance on their learning. The project aims to produce a replicable model for other institutions nationwide that strengthens student metacognitive knowledge and mathematics-specific self-regulated learning capabilities, preparing students for success in upper-level mathematics, other STEM courses, and STEM careers. Performance will take place in Lee, New Hampshire, with a period of performance extending from October 15, 2026, through September 30, 2029. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type under NSF's Engaged Student Learning portfolio.
