This project includes (i) course modules on creative thinking in STEM for all majors, (ii) a 2-year engaged student research experience for CMS Scholars; (iii) research on the impact of the CMS project on student achievement and changes to students\u2019 perceptions about STEM learning; and (iv) adaptation and transfer of successful elements to Bergen Community College and local high schools. The specific aim is to design learning materials and instructional methods related to creativity in the sciences.\u00a0 The CMS project will address the need for STEM students to understand the process of scientific inquiry and will address the role of creativity in scientific activities. The three-year project will promote implementation of the instructional practices and sharing of project results.<\/p>\n<span class=\"prpl-button\"><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/csam\/programs-and-opporutnities\/creativity-in-mathematics-and-science\/\">Learn more about the grant<\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mika Munakata (PI) and Ashwin Vaidya (Co-PI) received a grant from the National Science Foundation: Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) Program for $299,701 effective from September 2016 \u2013 August 2020. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":207261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-math-ed-phd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207273,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207272\/revisions\/207273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/mathematics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
