A New Approach for Teaching Mathematics in a Computerized Classroom

在米塞里科迪亚，离散数学是一门核心课程，它涉及到数学编程语言ISETL的创新方法，根据皮亚杰的理论来教授学生如何学习高级数学思想。该机构还采用了普渡大学杜宾斯基和施温多夫开发的微积分教学新方法。在这个项目下，这些基于计算机的创新被扩展到线性代数、抽象代数、微分方程、数值分析和统计学。PC终端功能的增加使这些课程的改进成为可能。

At Misericordia, Discrete Mathematics is a core course which involves the innovative approach of the mathematical programming language ISETL to teach according to a Piagetian- based theory on how students learn advanced mathematical ideas. The institution has also been utilizing a new approach for teaching Calculus which was developed by Dubinsky and Schwingendorf of Purdue University. Under this project, these computer-based innovations are being extended into Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, and Statistics. The addition of PC terminal capabilities have made these curricular improvements possible.
