Overview
The Technology-Enhanced Learning in Science group at the University of California, Berkeley is a partnership of classroom teachers, researchers, and technologists who conduct design-based research to develop OER that promotes integrated, coherent understanding. With this grant, the group will develop POWER (Personalizing Open Web-based Educational Resources), which will support teachers as they design OER curricular units that develop students’ self-directed learning. Self-directed learning is key to ensuring that every student and teacher has access to and ownership of activities that advance deeper learning.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Political Psychology of American Democracy project
The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC Berkeley is a graduate school that engages in research and analysis while also training students to deploy a broad toolkit for problem-solving. This grant supports GSPP’s Political Psychology of American Democracy project, which will launch a three-wave national public opinion study that tracks and analyzes the public’s political attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors toward democracy.
for support of the CEGA Global Networks Program
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley works to produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
