Measuring Home Learning Environments Using Wearable Technology and Observation Methods

This funding opportunity supports the development, testing, and validation of innovative methodologies to measure and understand children's home learning environments and their impact on learning, development, school readiness, and educational outcomes. Eligible projects must demonstrate novel methodological advancement by utilizing wearable devices (such as sensors or tracking technology), direct observation techniques, or a combination of mixed methods approaches. Applicants should focus on creating new tools, approaches, or technologies that provide insights into how home environments influence child development and educational success. Projects may include technology development, pilot testing, validation studies, and proof-of-concept demonstrations.
