Description
Improving
Undergraduate STEM Education: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR)
supports projects that have the potential to improve student learning in STEM
through development of new curricular materials and methods of instruction, and
development of new assessment tools to measure student learning. In addition to
innovative work at the frontier of STEM education, this program also encourages
replications of research studies at different types of institutions and with
different student bodies to produce deeper knowledge about the effectiveness
and transferability of findings. IUSE: EHR also seeks to support projects that
have high potential for broader societal impacts, including improved diversity
of students and instructors participating in STEM education, professional
development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical
techniques that meet the changing needs of students, and projects that promote
institutional partnerships for collaborative research and development. IUSE:
EHR especially welcomes proposals that will pair well with the efforts of NSF
INCLUDES (https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/nsfincludes/index.jsp)
to develop STEM talent from all sectors and groups in our society.
Collaborations are encouraged between IUSE proposals and existing INCLUDES
projects, provided the collaboration strengthens both
projects.
