- This $199,503 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will fund a large-scale, mixed-methods study to understand perceptions and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in K-12 education. The one-year project will survey a nationally representative sample of parents, teachers, and youth to identify opportunities, risks, and supports needed for integrating AI-driven learning tools. The study will employ both...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations awarded American Institutes For Research In The Behavioral Sciences $479,932 on July 15, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop and validate measurement scales assessing artificial intelligence literacy among middle school teachers. The project develops high-quality instruments to measure three dimensions of teacher AI literacy—knowledge, skills, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Northwestern University $899,999 on September 1, 2026, to co-design human-AI collaborative tools for teaching agent-based modeling to high school students under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). The project develops and evaluates a structured human-AI method that connects model goals, measurements, rules, code, and simulated worlds, enabling learners to work step-by-step from ideas to...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the University of Illinois $414,556 on August 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to co-design, implement, and research artificial intelligence learning experiences with high school computing teachers. The project will conduct two iterative two-year qualitative studies to understand AI literacy development across teacher professional development sessions, co-design...
- This $349,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will support a research project at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate how to design and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to support equitable K-12 science education. The project plans to explore the use of multimodal AI to provide automated feedback for formative science assessments, with the goal of generating design principles to develop...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded the National Academy of Sciences $199,999 on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to convene a workshop on research and practice in the use of artificial intelligence in K–12 science, engineering, and mathematics education. The workshop will bring together researchers, educators, school leaders, technology developers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to document...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded through the STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) program (CFDA 47.076), will support research to investigate how K-12 teachers perceive artificial intelligence (AI) in education and its impacts on the workforce. The University of Michigan will develop and refine a survey to be distributed to approximately 1,000 K-12 teachers nationally. The $199,557 grant, awarded on September 1, 2023 with a completion date...
The National Science Foundation Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings awarded Horizon Research Inc. $362,513 on September 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program to study how K–12 science teachers use artificial intelligence to modify high-quality open educational resources. Horizon Research Inc. will conduct a mixed-methods study examining teachers' use of AI to adapt OpenSciEd, a specific high-quality K–12 science instructional material. The research will deploy a teacher survey distributed to 500 middle and high school science teachers addressing the types of modifications they make with AI, their reasons for modifications, and perceived impacts. From survey respondents, 70 teachers will be purposefully selected across grade levels and course subjects for in-depth interviews about their AI-enabled modification practices. Analysis of survey and interview data will generate knowledge to inform the development of AI tools designed to support teachers using high-quality open educational resources—both by suggesting modifications aligned with the materials' design principles and by deepening teachers' understanding of those principles and their implementation in instruction. Study findings will extend beyond OpenSciEd to inform AI tool development for other high-quality open educational resources. Performance occurs in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The project runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028.
