Florida State University’s Learning Systems Institute has been awarded a four-year, $4 million grant by The U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences. Robert Schoen, Ph.D., will serve as the principal investigator on the Supporting Teacher Enactment of the Probability and Statistics Standards (STEPSS)–Replication study
Dr. Robert Schoen's project titled "Impact of an Inquiry-Oriented Intervention on Teaching and Learning of Seventh-grade Statistics" garnered the Robert M. Gagné faculty award. Schoen's research delves into the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning methods in middle school math education, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to improve student engagement and understanding.
The Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics (FCTM) has named Florida State University professor and Learning Systems Institute (LSI) faculty member Robert Schoen, Ph.D., the Kenneth P. Kidd Mathematics Educator of the Year. The award was established in 1976 to recognize an individual’s outstanding contributions to mathematics education.
A Florida State University program to improve professional development for elementary school teachers and principals has already reached as many as 150,000 students in more than 200 Florida schools. The third and final year of the professional development portion of the “Foundations for Success” study was just completed last month.
Last year, students and teachers in Florida and across the nation were asked to do a lot when remote learning forced them out of the physical classroom.
That didn’t stop educators from pushing forward to learn new ways to best teach traditional subjects like math to their students, whether they were in person or on Zoom. And FSU’s Learning Systems Institute (LSI) was there to help.
