A Mathematics Computer Laboratory for the Twenty-First Century

格林菲尔德社区学院正在创建一个实验室/教室，配备最先进的软件和硬件，用于教师演示，以及第二个地点，教师可以在这里将计算机技术融入数学课，学生也可以在其他时间进行课外数学项目。该项目是在以往成功实施以改革为导向、结合技术的微积分课程的基础上进行的。该项目允许教师将个别或集体解决的背景问题整合到课程中，作为学生概念发展的中心部分。因此，计算机作业正在成为微积分课程不可或缺的一部分，而不是外围设备。进一步的计划包括将计算机技术整合到微积分预科和大学代数，并最终整合到统计学课程中。正在通过课堂行动研究和课堂评估技术对项目成果进行评估，并通过学院网站进行传播。专业演讲和电话会议也在计划中。

Greenfield Community College is creating a laboratory/classroom with state-of-the-art software and hardware for teacher demonstrations and a second location where faculty can incorporate computer technology into mathematics classes which is also available at other times for students to work on mathematics projects out of class. This project is building on previous successes in implementing a reform-oriented, technology-integrated calculus curriculum. This project allows faculty to integrate into the curriculum contextual problems to be solved individually or in groups as a central part of the students' conceptual development. Computer work is thus becoming integral, rather than peripheral, to calculus classes. Further plans include integrating computer technology into precalculus and college algebra and ultimately statistics courses. Evaluation of project outcomes is being assessed through classroom action research and classroom assessment techniques and disseminated through the college website. Professional presentations and a teleconference are also being planned.
