Case-based Teacher Assistant Software for Integrated Pre-college Mathematical Instruction Using a Subject- Integration Approach

9360544欧文如果孤立地教授学术科目，学生就不能理解他们被要求掌握的概念的发展和所产生的关系。学科整合或“综合课程”是一种新的教学方法，它为研究提供了极好的平台，为受过良好教育的人群提供了比目前更好的教育。然而，目前大多数中小学教师既没有时间也没有行政支持来使他们能够在一个综合的框架内教授一门学科--一个可以用历史文化背景来展示它的发展的学科。这项小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段计划建议研究为中、中学数学教师开发教师辅助软件设计的可行性，该软件使用概念及其上下文(案例)进行基于案例的推理(CBR)，以便在互联网上使用。该项目有可能为整合课程提供一种有效和可获得的教学辅助手段。该工具将有助于保持学习者的兴趣和发展学生的心理设施，以联系概念，从而扩大他们的问题解决能力。***

9360544 Owen If academic subjects are taught in isolation, students cannot appreciate the development of and the relationships emanating from the concepts that they are required to master. Integration of subjects or "integrated curricula" is a new pedagogical approach that affords excellent platforms for research and a far better educated populace than is to be found currently. Presently, however, most middle and secondary teachers have neither the time nor the administrative support to enable them to teach a subject in an integrated framework--one that may use the historical and cultural context to show it development. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project proposes to investigate the feasibility of developing a teacher assistant software design for middle and secondary teachers of mathematics that uses concepts and their contexts (cases) for case-based reasoning (CBR) for use on Internet. The project has the potential to contribute an effective and accessible teaching aid for integrating curriculum. This tool will facilitate the maintainence of learners interest and the development of a mental facility in students for linking concepts and thus enlarging their problem solving capabilities. ***
