- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill $750,000 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and study an AI-assisted professional development program supporting high school science teachers to design and deliver learning experiences that emphasize epistemic practices in science instruction. The project operates through two components: training and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Worcester Polytechnic Institute $265,797 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop simulated student agents powered by large language models. The project creates AI-based systems designed to model how students think, learn, and respond during educational activities, focusing on middle-school mathematics. The research team will develop fully interactive...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the University of Massachusetts $628,360 on August 1, 2026, to develop simulated student agents—AI-based systems designed to model how students think, learn, and respond during educational activities. The award funds research under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The research team will develop fully interactive student models capable of engaging in dialogues with teachers and...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the University of Southern California $381,999 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and test a data-driven framework investigating how teachers acquire content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge through online professional development focused on proportional reasoning. The project will analyze real-time interaction data from hundreds of participating teachers engaging with an interactive online PD system, using machine learning and psychometric methods to identify which specific program features—such as analyzing videos of mathematics instruction—most effectively support teachers' knowledge growth. The research will model how teachers' knowledge changes during the program and establish the relationship between particular instructional characteristics and learning trajectories, with the goal of informing the design of more effective, scalable professional development. Performance occurs at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2029.
