通过多年的国家微积分研究，研究人员最近确定了成功的大学微积分课程的七个特征。我们通过访问五个具有成功微积分课程的博士学位授予数学系，并揭示它们之间的共同特征，确定了这七个特征。五所大学的这七个共同特点是：强大的GTA教学准备，课程的协调，主动学习的支持，全面的安置策略，收集和关注当地数据，丰富的学生支持和严格的内容。对先前收集的数据的进一步分析和反思表明，早期的研究实际上确定了成功服务于大多数白色或亚洲和男性人口的微积分程序的特征。在这篇文章中，我认为，注意到第八个特点组成的多样性，公平性和包容性的做法沿着与其他七个可以使一个部门创造一个真正成功的微积分程序通过理解和照顾历史上被边缘化的人群的独特需求。
Through a multi-year, national calculus study, researchers have recently identified seven characteristics of successful college calculus programs. We identified these seven characteristics by visiting five doctoral-granting mathematics departments with successful calculus programs and uncovering the common traits among them. These seven traits common among the collection of five universities were: robust GTA teaching preparation, coordination of courses, support of active learning, comprehensive placement strategies, collection and attention to local data, abundant student supports, and rigorous content. Further analysis and reflection on the previously gathered data indicates that the earlier study actually identified characteristics of calculus programs that successfully serve a majority white or Asian and male population. In this article, I argue that attention to an eighth characteristic comprised of diversity, equity and inclusion practices along with the other seven can enable a department to create a truly successful calculus program by understanding and attending to the unique needs of historically marginalized populations.
