Collaborative problem solving is a valued 21st century skill that can enhance learning outcomes. Learning progressions, which are models of how student thinking develops within a domain, have potential to provide actionable information to teachers to guide instruction. Facilitation may support collaborative problem solving and make visible student thinking with respect to learning progressions. In this project, the team will address questions about how collaborative problem solving, learning progressions, and facilitation interact in the development of students’ mathematical learning. The work affords an opportunity to advance equitable access to high-quality education for all students by enhancing the quality of instruction for students lacking opportunities to learn key concepts of mathematics because of the inequitable structures of education in the country. The project team anticipates that their work will generate resources and findings for future work, such as a version of the learning progression that can be used by teachers to interpret student work and information about how students and facilitators can use online collaborative technology in support of mathematics learning and assessment.The project team will integrate learning progression assessment tasks into an online collaborative learning and assessment platform. The tasks focus on the concept of function, a foundational area of mathematics, and are designed for students in Grades 9 through 12. Students will engage with the tasks in four phases: first, they will solve a task individually. Second, they will revisit that task as part of a 3- or 4- person team in a collaborative environment. Some team discussions will be facilitated by near-peer mentors. Third, the teams will present their results to the class. Students will engage in a whole class discussion with facilitation and wrap up by the teacher. Finally, students will respond individually to a conceptually similar task. Discourse will be coded using both domain-specific and domain-general coding schemes that identify cognitive, social, and facilitation practices during team collaboration and class discussion; results will attend to the both the focus and the development of ideas over the course of discussion. The project will also feature a professional development component for teachers and youth facilitators.The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

协作解决问题是一种有价值的世纪技能，可以提高学习效果。学习进展是学生思维在一个领域内发展的模型，有可能为教师提供可操作的信息来指导教学。促进可以支持协作解决问题，并使学生的思维与学习进展。在这个项目中，该小组将解决有关如何协作解决问题，学习进展，并促进学生的数学学习的发展相互作用的问题。这项工作提供了一个机会，通过提高由于该国教育结构不公平而没有机会学习关键数学概念的学生的教学质量，促进所有学生公平获得高质量教育。项目团队预计他们的工作将为未来的工作产生资源和发现，例如教师可以用来解释学生作业的学习进展版本，以及关于学生和辅导员如何使用在线协作技术来支持数学学习和评估的信息。项目团队将把学习进展评估任务整合到在线协作学习和评估平台中。这些任务侧重于函数的概念，这是数学的基础领域，专为9至12年级的学生设计。学生将在四个阶段参与任务：首先，他们将单独解决一个任务。第二，他们将在协作环境中作为3或4人团队的一部分重新审视该任务。一些小组讨论将由近同行的导师来促进。第三，小组将向全班展示他们的结果。学生将在老师的引导下参与整个课堂的讨论。最后，学生将单独回答一个概念相似的任务。话语将使用特定领域和通用领域的编码方案进行编码，这些编码方案在团队协作和课堂讨论中识别认知，社会和促进实践;结果将在讨论过程中关注焦点和思想的发展。该项目还将为教师和青年辅导员提供专业发展部分。发现研究preK-12计划（DRK-12）旨在通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具，显着提高preK-12学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。DRK-12项目中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究以及为拟议项目提供理论和经验依据的先前研究和开发工作的基础上。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
