A Mathematics Learning Laboratory for Developmental Algebra

数学科学(21)这个项目的主要目标是提高学生在发展代数方面的成绩。该项目正在通过实施教育学和课程管理领域的改革来实现这一目标。为了支持这些改革的实施，每年有一个经过技术改进的数学学习实验室(MLL)致力于帮助1000多名准备不足的学生发展数学。课程管理改革包括基于能力的方法，允许学生有多次尝试通过电子生成和分级考试。教育学改革的重点是基于技术的评估、学生辅导和课堂教学的结合，将课堂转变为一个积极的学习环境，在这里每个学生的数学需求都可以得到满足。我们计划的一个关键部分借鉴了美国国家科学基金会资助的项目--高效数学知识评估专家系统(NSFESI-9350484)，学生正在使用该系统来评估他们现有的数学知识水平。该项目还在改编和实施之前NSF资助的两个项目：互联数学和交互数学项目的主题和技术。

Mathematical Sciences (21)The primary goal of this project is to increase student achievement and success in developmental algebra. The project is attaining this goal by implementing reforms in the areas of pedagogy and course administration. To support the implementation of these reforms, a technology-enhanced Mathematics Learning Laboratory (MLL) is dedicated to the mathematical development of over 1000 underprepared students each year. Reform in course administration includes a competency-based approach permitting students to have multiple tries to pass electronically generated and graded examinations. Pedagogy reforms are focusing on a blend of technology-based assessment, student tutorials, and classroom instruction, that is transforming the classroom into an active learning environment where the mathematical needs of each individual student can be met.A key part of our plan draws upon the NSF funded project, An Expert System For The Efficient Assessment of Mathematical Knowledge ( NSF ESI-9350484 ), which is being used by students to assess their existing levels of mathematical knowledge. This project is also adapting and implementing themes and techniques from two previous NSF supported projects: Connected Mathematics and Interactive Mathematics Program.
