  • National Center for Education Research Projects and Programs
    National Center for Education Research Projects and Programs 2002-2008 In 2002, we began with three research grant competitions – one focused on reading instruction, one on preschool curricula, and one on student learning from a cognitive science perspective. These competitions resulted in a total of 24 research grants. Since that auspicious beginning, the grant competitions sponsored by the National Center for Education Research (NCER) have experienced tremendous growth. Since 2002, we have supported more than 265 education research grants that range from the development of a board game designed to improve preschool children's ability to estimate numerical magnitude – a skill that turns out to be related to arithmetic skill and conceptual understanding of computational procedures – to a large scale randomized field trial to evaluate the effects of school choice on student achievement. In addition to funding education research in reading, writing, mathematics, and science; teacher quality; education leadership; education policy, finance, and systems; high school reform; postsecondary education; preschool curricula; early childhood programs and policies; social and character development interventions; social and behavioral context for academic learning; cognition and student learning; and education technology, NCER currently supports 13 predoctoral and 17 postdoctoral research training programs in the education sciences, and 13 Education Research and Development Centers. I am proud of the work that is being accomplished by NCER researchers. This booklet is a compilation of the research grants and contracts and the training grants that NCER has awarded since our first year. The projects listed represent a new generation of education research – research that is rigorous, relevant, and intended to improve the quality of education in the United States.

  • Toshalis & Nakkula, "Motivation, Engagement, and Student Voice
    MOTIVATION, ENGAGEMENT, AND APRIL 2012 STUDENT VOICE By Eric Toshalis and Michael J. Nakkula EDITORS’ INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDENTS AT THE CENTER SERIES Students at the Center explores the role that student-centered approaches can play to deepen learning and prepare young people to meet the demands and engage the opportunities of the 21st century. Students at the Center synthesizes existing research on key components of student-centered approaches to learning. The papers that launch this project renew attention to the importance of engaging each student in acquiring the skills, knowledge, and expertise needed for success in college and a career. Student-centered approaches to learning, while recognizing that learning is a social activity, pay particular attention to the importance of customizing education to respond to each student’s needs and interests, making use of new tools for doing so. The broad application of student-centered approaches to learning has much in common with other education reform movements including closing the achievement gaps and providing equitable access to a high-quality education, especially for underserved youth. Student-centered approaches also align with emerging work to attain the promise and meet the demands of the Common Core State Standards. However, critical and distinct elements of student-centered approaches to learning challenge the current schooling and education paradigm: > Embracing the student’s experience and learning theory as the starting point of education; > Harnessing the full range of learning experiences at all times of the day, week, and year; > Expanding and reshaping the role of the educator; and > Determining progression based upon mastery.

I was born and grew up in Chicago, where I received my K-12 education in Chicago Public Schools. I did well in high school and also participated in activities such as playing on the football team for four years. I was accepted at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Despite some good academic credentials, I had no idea what to major in once I got to the university. I had three majors (chemistry, English, philosophy) before settling on psychology – a subject that I found fascinating in my freshman-year courses. During my time at the University of Illinois I became interested in research and worked for two different child psychology professors on research projects. Working with professors showed me what faculty members do – teach, conduct research, write – and also developed my interest in working with children, which I later did in my research.
