The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) will carry out an evaluation study of the calculus reform movement in the United States. This evaluation study will include current efforts in colleges and universities to generate a reform movement and, in particular, will consider the NSF calculus initiative as a model for future curriculum initiatives. Information collected will include factual data on a wide variety of projects including all NSF funded projects. An in-depth study of a carefully selected sample of projects will include site visits and on-site data gathering. Key issues to be addressed will include outcomes of individual projects, long term continuation of projects, dissemination and integration of results and future directions. Simultaneously, the effectiveness of NSF's program, as a factor in the reform movement, will be studied as a model for promoting curricular reform. Regular reports will be made to the mathematics community and to other science disciplines. Since the NSF initiative in calculus is a large factor in the reform movement, and since this study is of interest to NSF staff, NSF will be included as a recipient of these regular reports. Cost sharing on this award is $17,000 or 9%.//

美国数学协会（MAA）将开展 美国微积分改革运动的评价研究 States. 这项评估研究将包括目前在以下方面所作的努力： 高等院校产生改革运动， 特别是，将考虑NSF微积分倡议作为一个模型 未来的课程计划。 收集的信息将包括广泛的事实数据， 包括所有NSF资助的项目。 深入 对精心挑选的项目样本进行的研究将包括： 访问和现场数据收集。 要解决的关键问题将包括个人的成果 项目、项目的长期延续、传播和 成果和未来方向的整合。 与此同时， 作为改革运动的一个因素，NSF项目的有效性， 作为推进课程改革的示范。 定期向数学界报告， 其他科学学科。 自从美国国家科学基金会在微积分方面的倡议 是改革运动中的一个重要因素，由于这项研究是 对于NSF工作人员感兴趣的，NSF将被列为 这些定期报告。 此奖项的费用分摊为17，000美元或9%。//
