Product for Educators | Play nine math learning apps and dozens of hands-on activities at home or in the classroom. A digital Teacher's Guide supports use in the classroom, and a digital Family Fun Guide provides activities to do at home.
Publication | This paper introduces SketchMiner, which uses drawing topologies to automatically interpret learner-generated sketches.
Presentation | This webinar, led by Edith Gummer (formerly of NSF), discusses the guidelines outlined in the report co-authored by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education and the National Science Foundation.
Publication | This paper presents WriteEval, a hybrid text analytics method for analyzing student-constructed responses.
Publication | Effective for Proposals Submitted or Due On or After February 24, 2014. For proposals submitted prior to February 24, 2014, the guidelines in NSF 13-1 apply.
Publication | In 2012, the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City launched the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Urban Residency Program. Developing a teacher preparation program from scratch is a tall order, and the museum is learning a…
Publication | In this article, we review knowledge about student engagement and look ahead to the future of study in this area.
Publication | This paper presents a novel application of the soft cardinality text analytics method to support assessment of text.
Presentation | A PPT presentation on Articulating the Components of Inclusive STEM High Schools. Presented at STEMx Conference.
Presentation | The NSF Nuts & Bolts webinar, hosted by CADRE and led by NSF Program Officer David Campbell on November 20, 2014 at 3:30PM EST, was designed to introduce DR K-12 awardees to the ins and outs of project management—including information on…
Publication | This article describes the role of museums in supporting schools and teachers in addressing the demands of the NGSS.
Publication | This paper presents a set of authoring tool design principles such as leveraging UI workflows, collaboration, and automation.
Publication | Though addressing sources of uncertainty is an important part of doing science, it has largely been neglected in assessing students' scientific argumentation. In this study, we initially defined a scientific argumentation construct in four…
Publication | The NSF’s Discovery Research K-12 (DR K-12) program is one potential source of funding for the needed research on the educational effectiveness of gaming and simulations. The DR K-12 program seeks to enhance the teaching and learning of STEM in…
Publication | The Award and Administration Guide(AAG) provides information regarding the NSF
award cycle from issuance and administration of an award through closeout.
Publication | Impact evaluation plays a critical role in determining whether federally funded research programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are wise investments. This paper develops quantitative methods for program evaluation and…
Publication | Modeling and argumentation are two important scientific practices students need to develop throughout school years. In this paper, we investigated how middle and high school students (N=512) construct a scientific argument based on evidence from…
Tool | This webinar was held 3/24/2014 to orient new DR K-12 awardees to the CADREK12.org
Publication | Dynamic visualisations capture aspects of scientific phenomena that are difficult to communicate in static materials and benefit from well-designed scaffolds to succeed in classrooms. We review research to clarify the impacts of dynamic…
