Collaborative Research: Adaptation and Implementation of Activity and Web-Based Materials into Post-Calculus Introductory Probability and Statistics Courses

数学科学（21）本合作项目的目标是提高微积分后学生对概率和统计的学习，并为学生未来在数学和统计、数学教育和计算机科学方面的职业生涯提供更好的准备。在雅典州立大学和中田纳西州立大学，通过调整和实施最近开发的两种国家科学基金会资助的材料，这些目标正在通过关注主动和合作学习、概念可视化以及在微积分后概率论和统计学入门课程中使用模拟来实现。材料是(a)数据导向，主动学习，后微积分介绍统计概念，方法和理论（DUE-9950476）和(b)概率与统计虚拟实验室（DUE-9652870）。项目活动包括加强各院校的师资、各院校对教材的适应和实施（A&amp；I）、对教材的适应和实施进行评估，以及评估学生在使用教材时的学习情况。阿拉巴马大学亨茨维尔分校提供了这项评估。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The objectives of this collaborative project are to improve post-calculus students' learning of probability and statistics and to provide students with better preparation for their future careers in mathematics and statistics, mathematics education, and computer science. These objectives are being achieved by focusing on active and cooperative learning, visualization of concepts, and use of simulations in post-calculus introductory probability and statistics courses at Athens State University and Middle Tennessee State University via the adaptation and implementation of two recently developed National Science Foundation funded materials. The materials are (a) A Data-Oriented, Active Learning, Post-Calculus Introduction to Statistical Concepts, Methods, and Theory (DUE-9950476) and the (b) Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics (DUE-9652870). Project activities include faculty enhancement at the institutions, the respective institutional adaptation and implementation (A&I) of the materials, the evaluation of the A&I of the materials, and the assessment of students learning while using the materials. The University of Alabama Huntsville is providing the evaluation.
