Description
The
National Science Foundation (NSF) announcedPD-18-005Y, STEM + Computing
K-12 Education (STEM+C). The STEM+C program supports research and
development proposals related to new approaches to pre-K-12 STEM teaching and
learning related to Harnessing the Data Revolution, Convergence Research and the
Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier. The STEM+C Program focuses on
research and development of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches
to the integration of computing within STEM teaching and learning for preK-12
students in both formal and informal settings. The STEM+C program supports
research on how students learn to think computationally to solve
interdisciplinary problems in science and mathematics. The program supports
research and development that builds on evidence-based teacher preparation or
professional development activities that enable teachers to provide excellent
instruction on the integration of computation and STEM disciplines. Proposals
should describe projects that are grounded in prior evidence and theory, are
innovative or potentially transformative, and that will generate and build
knowledge about the integration of computing and one or more STEM disciplines
at the preK-12 level. A proposal submitted to this program description should
describe the integration of computing with one or more STEM disciplines. A
proposal may focus on studies on the effects of integrating computational
thinking with STEM disciplines or the challenges of implementing these
potentially disruptive educational interventions. Proposed projects may develop
models, assessments, and technological tools to support teaching and learning
in this area as well as conduct research on these models, assessments, and
tools.
