Opportunity Information: Apply for 11 588

The Discovery Research K 12 (DRK 12) program aims to improve STEM education for preK-12 students, educators, and families. It focuses on research-based projects that explore innovative methods, tools, and resources to address critical challenges in STEM learning and teaching. Proposals should investigate key questions in STEM education and may encompass immediate issues as well as future learning structures.

DRK 12 invites projects in four main areas: Assessment, Learning, Teaching, and Scale-up. Each project should be grounded in established learning theories and address the needs of diverse populations while aligning with educational priorities. The expected results include useful and scalable resources that enhance understanding and engagement in STEM.

Regardless of the formal learning environment, the program values insights from both in-school and informal educational settings. Recognizing the role of technology in modern learning, DRK 12 encourages innovative approaches that incorporate current and emerging technologies in STEM education.

Effective teaching is a crucial aspect of the program, and while there's a specific emphasis on teacher education within the Teaching strand, all projects can include components aimed at teacher support and professional development. Projects may focus on specific STEM disciplines or adopt a broader, interdisciplinary approach, but must substantiate the significance of their chosen content.

Ultimately, DRK 12 seeks projects that not only deliver immediate educational improvements but also pave the way for widespread dissemination and adoption of successful practices and findings in preK-12 education.
