A Multifunctional Technology Classroom for the Teaching of Data-Intensive Statistics

数学科学（21）该提案的目的是通过调整和实施几种类型的教学方法，包括由P. Velleman开发的ActivStats和在南卡罗来纳州大学开发的互联网上的小程序，来加强学生在统计学入门和基于微积分的统计学方面的学习过程。为了实施该项目，创建了一个32名学生的教室，其中包括一个投影单元和一个智能板。教室使多种类型的学习体验，并提供访问和分析真实的数据的技术。智能板允许教师编辑来自投影仪的任何输出以及提供存储的注释。该板还允许教师根据需要检索笔记。此外，学生合作工作，并使用真实的应用程序。因此，他们成为适当的装备，为经验以外的课堂。该项目的另一个重要方面是学生交流思想的能力。这是通过分配和强调写作任务来解决的。使用来自许多学科的真实的数据的更积极的学习方法，使统计学生能够更好地理解概念，并能够将其应用到他们的学习领域和个人生活中。此外，从写作作业学生获得技术写作的经验和技能。该提案直接解决了提高学生学习，教师发展和技术融入教育的主题。

Mathematical Sciences (21) The objective of the proposal is to enhance the learning process for students in Introductory Statistics and Calculus Based Statistics by adapting and implementing several types of pedagogical methods including ActivStats developed by P. Velleman and applets on the internet developed at the University of South Carolina. To implement the project a 32-student classroom was created which included an overhead projection unit and a smart board. The classroom enables multiple types of learning experiences and provides the technology for access to and analysis of real data. The smart board allows the instructor to edit any output coming from the projector as well as provide notes that are stored. The board also allows the instructor to retrieve notes as needed. Also, students work collaboratively and use real application. Hence, they become properly equipped for experiences beyond the classroom. Another important aspect of the project is the ability of the students to communicate their ideas. This is addressed by assigning and emphasizing writing assignments. Using more active learning approaches with real data from many disciplines enables statistics students to better understand concepts and be able to apply them to their fields of study and personal lives. Also, from the writing assignments students gain technical writing experiences and skills.The proposal directly addresses the themes of enhanced student learning, faculty development and integration of technology into education.
