Developing and Sustaining Technology-Intensive Classrooms Where Mathematics is Learned With Understanding

这个项目将设计教学序列和基于计算机的微型工具，以支持学生发展复杂的统计推理。这项对先前7年级学生实验的后续研究将制定一个教学序列，旨在支持学生对协变的概念理解和利用数据进行乘法推理的一般能力的发展。此外，这项研究还将开发微型工具箱，说明整合了教学序列和技术的课程设计的愿景。第三，研究将探讨技术密集型教学序列作为支持专业教学社区发展的资源的作用。该项目将在学校范围内调查专业教学社区的可持续性。记录学校背景的主要数据来源将是对教师、行政人员和家长的采访和观察。

This project will design instructional sequences and computer-based minitools that support students' development of sophisticated statistical reasoning. This follow-up study of a previous 7th grade student experiment will enact an instructional sequence designed to support student development of conceptual understanding of co-variation and general ability to reason multiplcatively with data. Also, the study will develop minitools which illustrate a vision of curricular design which integrates instructional sequences and technology. Third, the study will investigate the role of technology intensive instructional sequences as resources to support the development of professional teaching communities. And the project will investigate the sustainabilty of a professional teaching community within the context of the school.The primary date sources for documenting the school contexts will be interviews and observations of teachers, administrators and parents.
