A Mathematics Learning Laboratory for Developmental Algebra

数学科学（21）这个项目的主要目标是提高学生的成绩和发展代数的成功。该项目正在通过在教学法和课程管理领域实施改革来实现这一目标。为了支持这些改革的实施，一个技术增强的数学学习实验室（MLL）致力于每年1000多名准备不足的学生的数学发展。课程管理的改革包括一种基于能力的办法，允许学生多次尝试通过电子生成和评分的考试。教学改革的重点是将基于技术的评估、学生辅导和课堂教学相结合，将课堂转化为一个积极的学习环境，在这个环境中，每个学生的数学需求都能得到满足。我们计划的一个关键部分借鉴了美国国家科学基金会资助的项目，一个有效评估数学知识的专家系统（NSF ESI-9350484），学生正在使用它来评估他们现有的数学知识水平。该项目还改编和实施了两个以前的NSF支持项目的主题和技术：连接数学和交互式数学计划。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The primary goal of this project is to increase student achievement and success in developmental algebra. The project is attaining this goal by implementing reforms in the areas of pedagogy and course administration. To support the implementation of these reforms, a technology-enhanced Mathematics Learning Laboratory (MLL) is dedicated to the mathematical development of over 1000 underprepared students each year. Reform in course administration includes a competency-based approach permitting students to have multiple tries to pass electronically generated and graded examinations. Pedagogy reforms are focusing on a blend of technology-based assessment, student tutorials, and classroom instruction, that is transforming the classroom into an active learning environment where the mathematical needs of each individual student can be met.A key part of our plan draws upon the NSF funded project, An Expert System For The Efficient Assessment of Mathematical Knowledge ( NSF ESI-9350484 ), which is being used by students to assess their existing levels of mathematical knowledge. This project is also adapting and implementing themes and techniques from two previous NSF supported projects: Connected Mathematics and Interactive Mathematics Program.
