Incorporating Technology and Multidisciplinary Applications in a Team-Taught Lecture-Laboratory Calculus Course

数学科学(21)该项目解决了两个国家的需求：所有学生的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育的质量需要提高；需要增加目前在STEM渠道中代表性不足的人群的参与率，从而增加可用于科学和工程职业的专业人员队伍。因此，该项目的总体目标是提高STEM学科本科生的成功率，特别是针对少数群体。为实现这一目标而追求的具体目标是为了增强学生的动机，增加学生的任务时间，加强学生解决问题和分析问题的能力，以及加强少数族裔服务机构的教师在改善STEM教育方面的参与。为了实现这些目标，对弗吉尼亚理工大学商场进行了改造和实施。编写了其他结合信息技术和STEM学科的创新教材，以增强内容和激励学生的具体应用，并开发和测试了结合这些教材的课堂-实验室微积分示范课程。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This project addresses two national needs: the quality of Science, Technological, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education for all students needs improvement; and the participation of populations currently underrepresented in the STEM pipeline needs to be increased, thus increasing the pool of professionals available for the careers in science and engineering. The general goal of the project is therefore to improve the success rate of undergraduate students in STEM disciplines, particularly targeting minority populations. The specific objectives pursued in order to achieve this goal are formulated in order to enhance student motivation, increase student time on task, strengthen student problem solving and analytical skills, and enhance the participation of faculty at minority serving institutions in effecting STEM education improvement. In order to accomplish these objectives, the Virginia Tech Emporium is adapted and implemented. Other innovative educational materials that incorporate information technology and STEM discipline specific applications to enhance content and motivate students are developed, and a model Lecture-Laboratory Calculus course is developed and tested which incorporates these materials.
