- The [Faculty Institutes for Reforming Science Teaching (FIRST)|http://www.first2.org] project builds upon the results and innovations from FIRST II as one of the components of the NSF Cyclic Model for knowledge production and improvement of practice in undergraduate STEM education. We are constructing a database to support research on undergraduate STEM education. The database will support storing, searching and analyzing assessment data from undergraduate STEM courses. This database will facilitate both data-driven instructional decision making and research in science education. The two major goals of the FIRST III project are 1) developing faculty expertise in assessing student learning and 2) evaluating innovations based on analyses of these data. \\ |
