National Science Foundation STEM + Computing Partnerships Program Solicitation
DESCRIPTION
The STEM + Computing Partnerships (STEM+C) program seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of STEM and computing by K-12 students and teachers, through research on, and development of, courses, curriculum, course materials, pedagogies, instructional strategies, or models that innovatively integrate computing into one or more STEM disciplines, or integrate STEM content into the teaching and learning of computing. In addition, STEM+C seeks to build capacity in K-12 computing education with foundational research and focused teacher preparation. Projects in the STEM+C Partnerships program should build on research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. Pre-service and in-service teachers who participate in STEM+C projects are expected to enhance their understanding and teaching of STEM and computing content, practices, and skills. Watch a STEM+C solicitation webinar on MSPnet.
STEM+C invites creative and innovative proposals that address emerging challenges in the learning and teaching of STEM and computing.
Full Proposal Deadline Date: April 14, 2015.
