An Integrated Laboratory-Classroom for Calculus and Precalculus

通过这个项目，提供了建立一个实验室和教室相结合的必要的计算机，致力于微积分和微积分预科的综合学习方式。这个实验教室的目的是加强学生对微积分基本概念和适当应用的理解，以及伴随着教育学和教科书的变化。这将通过改变教学方式来实现，这种教学方式要求课堂活动流畅。这个计算机实验室将计算机应用完全融入课堂活动中。该设施反映了多用途的需求，有大桌子，可以让2到3名学生一起工作，房间周围有黑板，这样全班学生可以同时在董事会前分组，还有供教员在学生之间交流提供建议的空间。该房间的设计允许频繁地从一种类型的活动切换到另一种类型，并将干扰降至最低。

Through this project, the computers necessary to build a combined laboratory-classroom dedicated to an integrated style of learning in calculus and precalculus are supplied. The purpose of this laboratory-classroom, with its accompanying change in pedagogy and textbook, is to enhance students' understanding of the basic concepts and appropriate applications of calculus. This will come about through a change in the style of instruction to one that requires fluidity of activity during the class period. This computer laboratory integrates computer use completely into the classroom activities. The facility reflects multi-use need, with large tables enabling groups of 2 or 3 students to work together, blackboards around the room so the entire class can be in groups at the board at the same time, and space for faculty to circulate among students to offer advice. The room is designed to allow frequent switching from one type of activity to another with minimal disruption.
