The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded The Ohio State University $364,949 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and deploy an AI web interface that serves as a metacognitive coach in gateway mathematics courses. Over three years through September 30, 2029, the research team will build a tool designed to scaffold pre-exam study planning and post-exam reflection, addressing a central tension between student agency and passive dependency on AI. The project executes a large-scale, cluster-randomized controlled trial to detect shifts in academic performance, course resource use, and study habits among introductory mathematics students. Research will establish evidence-based pedagogical strategies that promote self-regulated learning, mitigate passive dependency, and equip students with AI fluency for the modern workforce. Work is performed in Columbus, Ohio. The award is classified as a Project Grant and is part of NSF's Engaged Student Learning initiative at Level 1. The research aims to strengthen the national STEM workforce by improving student success and persistence in foundational mathematics courses that serve as gateways for science and engineering careers, with findings intended for broad adaptation and implementation across a range of institutions.
