Calculus, Concepts, Computers and Cooperative Learning: Assessment and Evaluation in Terms of Dissemination Goals

9450750 Dubinsky 该项目正在对学生如何学习数学概念进行评估、评价和研究，以确定微积分改革课程和普渡大学之前支持的微积分项目的传播活动的效果。评估活动将与学生如何学习数学概念的研究密切相关，还将包括对教师角色从指导者转变为辅导者时的效果的研究以及小组学习的使用。 当前的传播方法将包括编写教师资源手册、研讨会以及实施者网络的持续增长和发展。还将开发一个模型，用于评估学生的态度、表现和概念理解，并与在标准模型中学习微积分的学生进行比较。

9450750 Dubinsky This project is engaging in assessment, evaluation and research into how students learn mathematical concepts to determine effects of the calculus reform curriculum and dissemination activities from the previously supported Calculus project at Purdue. Assessment activities will be closely related to research into how students learn mathematical concepts and will also include studies of the effect of the role of the teacher when changed from instructor to facilitator and the use of group learning. Current dissemination approach will include the preparation of an Instructor's Resource Manual, workshops and the continued growth and development of a network of implementers. A model will also be developed for evaluation of student attitudes, performance, and conceptual understanding in comparison with students who took calculus in standard models.
