Collaborative Research: Adaptation and Implementation of Activity and Web-Based Materials into Post-Calculus Introductory Probability and Statistics Courses

数学科学(21)这个合作项目的目标是提高微积分后学生学习概率和统计的能力，并为学生在数学和统计、数学教育和计算机科学领域的未来职业做好更好的准备。正在通过调整和实施最近开发的两份国家科学基金会资助的材料，在雅典国立大学和田纳西中部州立大学的微积分入门概率和统计课程中侧重于积极和合作的学习、概念的可视化和模拟的使用，从而实现了这些目标。这些材料是(A)面向数据的主动学习，统计概念、方法和理论的微积分后导论(DUE-9950476)和(B)概率与统计虚拟实验室(DUE-9652870)。项目活动包括各院校的师资队伍建设、教材的机构调整和实施(A&A；I)、对教材的A&A；I的评估，以及对学生在使用教材的同时学习的评估。阿拉巴马大学亨茨维尔分校提供了这项评估。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The objectives of this collaborative project are to improve post-calculus students' learning of probability and statistics and to provide students with better preparation for their future careers in mathematics and statistics, mathematics education, and computer science. These objectives are being achieved by focusing on active and cooperative learning, visualization of concepts, and use of simulations in post-calculus introductory probability and statistics courses at Athens State University and Middle Tennessee State University via the adaptation and implementation of two recently developed National Science Foundation funded materials. The materials are (a) A Data-Oriented, Active Learning, Post-Calculus Introduction to Statistical Concepts, Methods, and Theory (DUE-9950476) and the (b) Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics (DUE-9652870). Project activities include faculty enhancement at the institutions, the respective institutional adaptation and implementation (A&I) of the materials, the evaluation of the A&I of the materials, and the assessment of students learning while using the materials. The University of Alabama Huntsville is providing the evaluation.
