The purpose of this proposal is to improve basic education in mathematics at the postsecondary level. The underlying philosophy is that students must be actively involved in meaningful, global learning grounded in real life situations. To enact this philosophy, the project will develop two, three credit courses in integrated mathematics/sciences, which will meet general education requirements in mathematics for the Associate and Bachelor's degrees, and serve in the preparation of teachers for grades K-12. Content will be based on critical concepts drawn from College Algebra, College Trigonometry and Statistics. Cooperative and discovery learning, along with the uses of interactive multimedia, will be emphasized. Students will form teams across diverse educational environments, and will conduct long-term studies of critical community problems. Faculty will serve as mentors and coaches. The courses will be developed and team-taught by faculty from all of the higher education institutions in the metropolitan Jacksonville, Florida area, as well as two secondary schools in the two county area. Classes will be conducted in electronic classrooms connected via two-way audio and video. Special emphasis will be placed on participation of women and minorities. Expected outcomes include over 70 faculty and 1,400 students affected by the project.

这项建议的目的是改善中学后一级的数学基础教育。 其基本理念是，学生必须积极参与有意义的，全球性的学习扎根于真实的生活情况。 为了实现这一理念，该项目将开发两个，三个学分的综合数学/科学课程，这将满足一般教育的要求，在数学的副学士和学士学位，并在准备教师的K-12年级。 内容将基于从大学代数，大学三角学和统计学得出的关键概念。 合作和发现学习，沿着互动多媒体的使用，将得到强调。 学生将在不同的教育环境中组建团队，并将对关键的社区问题进行长期研究。 教师将担任导师和教练。 这些课程将由佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔大都市地区的所有高等教育机构以及两个县地区的两所中学的教师开发和团队授课。课程将在通过双向音频和视频连接的电子教室中进行。 将特别强调妇女和少数民族的参与。 预期成果包括受该项目影响的70多名教师和1,400名学生。
