A Multifunctional Technology Classroom for the Teaching of Data-Intensive Statistics

数学科学(21)该提案的目的是通过采用和实施几种教学方法，包括P.Velleman开发的活动统计和南卡罗来纳大学在因特网上开发的小应用程序，加强统计学入门和基于微积分的统计的学生的学习过程。为了实施该项目，创建了一个有32名学生的教室，其中包括一个高空投影单元和一个智能板。课堂实现了多种类型的学习体验，并提供了访问和分析真实数据的技术。该智能板允许教师编辑来自投影仪的任何输出，并提供存储的笔记。该板还允许讲师根据需要检索笔记。此外，学生们协作工作，并使用真正的应用程序。因此，他们变得适合在课堂之外体验。该项目的另一个重要方面是学生交流想法的能力。这是通过布置和强调写作作业来解决的。使用来自许多学科的真实数据的更积极的学习方法，使统计学专业的学生能够更好地理解概念，并能够将其应用于他们的学习和个人生活领域。此外，学生从写作作业中获得技术写作的经验和技能。该建议直接涉及加强学生学习、教师发展和将技术融入教育的主题。

Mathematical Sciences (21) The objective of the proposal is to enhance the learning process for students in Introductory Statistics and Calculus Based Statistics by adapting and implementing several types of pedagogical methods including ActivStats developed by P. Velleman and applets on the internet developed at the University of South Carolina. To implement the project a 32-student classroom was created which included an overhead projection unit and a smart board. The classroom enables multiple types of learning experiences and provides the technology for access to and analysis of real data. The smart board allows the instructor to edit any output coming from the projector as well as provide notes that are stored. The board also allows the instructor to retrieve notes as needed. Also, students work collaboratively and use real application. Hence, they become properly equipped for experiences beyond the classroom. Another important aspect of the project is the ability of the students to communicate their ideas. This is addressed by assigning and emphasizing writing assignments. Using more active learning approaches with real data from many disciplines enables statistics students to better understand concepts and be able to apply them to their fields of study and personal lives. Also, from the writing assignments students gain technical writing experiences and skills.The proposal directly addresses the themes of enhanced student learning, faculty development and integration of technology into education.
