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

9450750杜宾斯基这个项目致力于评估、评估和研究学生如何学习数学概念，以确定微积分课程改革的效果和普渡大学以前支持的微积分项目的传播活动。评估活动将与学生如何学习数学概念的研究密切相关，还将包括研究教师角色从指导者转变为促进者时的效果以及小组学习的使用。目前的传播方法将包括编写讲师资源手册、讲习班以及继续扩大和发展实施者网络。还将开发一个模型来评估学生的态度、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.
