The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Horizon Research Inc. $547,647 on August 15, 2026, for collaborative research on formative assessment simulations designed to improve elementary mathematics teaching preparation. The project develops and evaluates teaching simulation tools for pre-service teacher education (K–5 grades). Teacher educators use the simulations to engage pre-service teachers in mathematics teaching practice and deliver individualized feedback to promote instructional growth. The research involves three studies using qualitative and quantitative methods. The first examines how accurately the simulations capture pre-service teachers' actual classroom teaching practices with K–5 students. The second investigates whether feedback on simulation performance improves pre-service teachers' performance in subsequent simulations and actual teaching. The third explores how participation in simulations and feedback reception improves pre-service teachers' classroom mathematics instruction. The work involves undergraduate pre-service teachers and teacher educators across five universities nationwide. Performance runs through July 31, 2029, with work performed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The award falls under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which supports development and advancement of the Nation's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education enterprise.
