  1. Overview of NSF Education R & D Programs with an Emphasis on the TUES Program Louis Everett Susan Finger leverett@nsf.gov sfinger@nsf.gov Sue Fitzgerald Russ Pimmel scfitzge@nsf.gov rpimmel@nsf.gov October 19 and 20, 2011

  2. Important Notes • Most of the information presented in this workshop represents the presenters’ opinions and not an official NSF position • Local facilitators will provide the link to the workshop slides at the completion of the webinar. • Participants may ask questions by “raising their virtual hand” during a question session. We will call on selected sites and/or enable their microphones so that the questions can be asked. You may also type questions into the chat box. • Responses will be collected from a few sites at the end of each Exercise. At the start of the Exercise, we will identify these sites in the Chat Box and then call on them one at a time to provide their responses.

  3. Framework for the Session • Learning must build on prior knowledge • Some knowledge is correct • Some knowledge is incorrect – misconceptions • Learning is • Connecting new knowledge to prior knowledge • Correcting misconceptions • Learning requires engagement • Actively recalling prior knowledge • Sharing new knowledge • Forming a new understanding

  4. Preliminary CommentsActive & Collaborative Learning • Effective learning activities • Recall prior knowledge – actively, explicitly • Connect new concepts to existing ones • Challenge and alter misconceptions • Active & collaborative processes • Think individually • Share with partner • Reportto local and virtual groups • Learn from program directors’ responses

  5. Facilitator’s Duties • Coordinate the local activities • Watch the time • Allow for think, share, and report phases • Reconvene on time – 1 min warning slide • With one minute warning, check Chat Box to see if you will be asked for a response • Ensure the individual think phase is devoted to thinking and not talking • Coordinate the asking of questions by local participants and reporting local responses to exercises

  6. Workshop Goal and Expected Outcomes • GOAL: • Participants should develop a better understanding of NSF undergraduate education R&D programs and the TUES program in particular • OUTCOMES: • Can identify undergraduate R&D programs and find details on NSF website • Can describe the kinds of projects that are appropriate for the TUES program • Can describe the NSF review criteria • Can describe important features of TUES proposals and effective approaches for addressing them

  7. ActivityNSF R&D Education Programs • What NSF programs support undergraduate educational R&D? • Name the program, and briefly describe the type of projects supported and any special focus • Be brief • Do not include scholarship programs or those focused on increasing diversity or general participation • Total time – 2 minutes • Identify as many as you can in your local group • Watch time and reconvene after 2 minutes
