Integration of Workshop Approaches in Calculus and Precalculus

在之前的本科师资加强项目“微积分和微积分预备课程研讨会方法的整合”的基础上，纽约州立大学联盟现在将重点放在常微分方程（ODE）和线性代数的教学内容和模式上。纽约州立大学联盟由29所两年制和四年制学校组成，将在全州范围内扩展到私立学校。参与者将学习：将现代课程（概念化，探索和更高层次的问题解决）整合到常微分方程（ODE）和线性代数的教学中；将技术和创新教学法融入ODE和线性代数的教学；吸引和留住ODE和线性代数中代表性不足群体的学生；通过与长岛数学科学联盟在整个课程中合作，改变学术文化，将数学科学扩展到整个课程。这些努力将有助于：增加教师对ODE和线性代数的教学和学术相关的内容和教学法的知识；强调数学建模在工业中的重要性；提高学生对基本数学概念的理解和记忆；为教师提供机会，发展和开创讲座形式的替代方案；促进二、四年制院校和现实世界中数学使用者之间的有效沟通。第一年的参与者包括来自纽约州立大学联盟的首席教授和新成员，他们将在夏季培训后的一年中实施ODE和/或线性代数现代课程和创新的教学方法。第二年新参与者的实施计划与第一年相同。此外，从第一年的参与者中选出的首席教授将开始跨学科课程的工作。

Building upon its previous Undergraduate Faculty Enhancement project, " Integration of Workshop Approaches in Calculus and Precalculus", the SUNY coalition will now focus on the content and mode of instruction in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) and Linear Algebra. The SUNY Coalition, comprised of twenty nine two- and four-year schools, will be expanded state-wide to include private institutions. Participants will learn to: integrate modern curricula (conceptualization, exploration, and higher-level problem solving) into the teaching of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) and Linear Algebra; integrate technology and innovative pedagogy into the teaching of ODE and Linear Algebra; attract and retain students from underrepresented groups in ODE and Linear Algebra; change the academic culture by collaborating with the Long Island Consortium for Mathematical Sciences Throughout the Curriculum to extend mathematical sciences throughout the curriculum. These efforts will help to: increase faculty's knowledge in the content and pedagogy related to teaching and scholarship in ODE and Linear Algebra; emphasize the importance of mathematical modeling in industry; improve student understanding and retention of fundamental mathematics concepts; provide the opportunity for faculty to develop and initiate alternatives to the lecture format; and promote effective communication between two- and four-year institutions and users of mathematics in the real world. The first-year participants comprised of Lead Professors from the original SUNY Coalition and new members will implement ODE and / or Linear Algebra modern curricula and innovative pedagogical approaches in the year following the summer training. The implementation plan for the new participants of the second year will be the same as that of the first year. In addition the Lead Professors, selected from the first-year participants, will begin work on interdisciplinary courses.
