(Resubmission of NSF ILI-IP #DUE-9650854) Technology Classroom Enhancement for Undergraduate Mathematics Education

该项目的主要目的是根据美国数学协会和美国数学学会预测的当前教育学变革的呼声，加强和改革本科课程中的数学学习。为实施这一国家推动的教育改革计划，该大学正在提供计算机辅助技术教室，该教室的使用为学生带来了新的数学教学方法，为他们使用技术和行业标准的数学软件做好了准备，并提高了他们将数学应用于其他学科的能力。该项目努力实现以下目标：提供计算机辅助教学和学习设施，并传播有关这些设施可能开展的活动的信息；增加课程中教授的数学内容的数量和学生对这些内容的保留；鼓励学生使用开放式的、现实世界的应用程序进行学习；强调通过小组工作、课堂项目、发现练习和其他以改革为导向的教学方法进行学习的积极、创造性和解决问题的方法；将技术自然地应用于课程工作，使其成为学习的组成部分，而不是外围的一部分；让学生熟悉不断变化的新兴技术，使毕业生在市场上更具竞争力。*

The primary purpose of this project is to enhance and reform the learning of mathematics in the undergraduate curriculum according to the current calls for change in pedagogy predicated by the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society. To implement this nationally promoted educational reform program, the university is providing a computer-assisted technology classroom, the use of which brings new methods of mathematical instruction to the students, prepares them for the use of technology and industry-standard mathematical software, and increases their capacity for the application of mathematics to other disciplines. The project strives to accomplish the following objectives: provide computer-assisted instruction and learning facilities and disseminate the information regarding the activities made possible by these facilities; increase the amount of mathematical content taught in courses and its retention by students; motivate students to learn with the use of open-ended, real-world applications; emphasize active, creative, problem-solving approaches to learning through group work, class projects, discovery exercises, and other reform-oriented methods of instruction; use technology as it naturally fits into course work so it becomes an integral, rather than a peripheral, part of learning; acquaint students with changing and emerging technologies in order to make graduates more competitive in the marketplace. *
