浅谈工科概率统计的教学方法

如何提高概率统计课程教学质量,增强工科学生对概率统计方法的理解及应用能力已成为现代工科数学教学的一个重要课题.结合多年的教学实践,本文提出了对概率统计教学的几点认识.     

工科概率统计课程的若干教改问题

<正> 我国在大专院校开设概率统计课程起步较晚,工科院校里开这门课则是近十年的事情。由于师资队伍的整体业务水平极需提高,欠缺一些必备条件,使我国工科院校的概率统计课程开设水平较低,在教学指导思想和教学实践中也有许多急待解决或改革之处。电子科技大学是理工管文综合性大学,且以电子类专业为主。我校在大面积(文科专业除外)开设概率统计课程十年有余,现已形成一支较成熟的师资队伍。     

面向能力培养的教学模式探讨——以工科概率统计课程为例

以工科概率统计课程为例探讨面向能力培养的教学模式.概率统计是高等院校工科专业一门重要的公共基础课程.文章分析了概率统计课程的教学现状,指出其在教学理念、教学方法上必须进行适度改革,以深化其教育功能;分析了概率统计教学平台在培养学生能力上的不可替代的重要作用;探讨了落实概率统计课程教育功能可以采取的教学方法.     

注重统计思想的现代工科概率统计教学方法

指出了工科概率统计教学中长期存在而又被忽视的一个问题,即学生的统计计算能力有余而对于统计思想、统计方法的理解与使用不足.并尝试着提出了注重统计思想的现代统计教学方法.     

工科《线性代数》教材建设的探索和实施

1　问　　题1.当前高等学校非数学专业的大学的数学教学存在首要问题是:“总体上说,教学内容和体系基本上停留在30年代以前的水平,存在重经典,轻近代;重连续,轻离散;重分析推导,轻数值计算;重运算技巧,轻数学思想;重概率,轻统计等倾向.内容古典,缺乏近代数学的思想、观点、概念和方法,也缺乏现代数学的术语和符号.这种状况影响学生进一步学习现代数学知识,也不能满足21世纪工程技术人才的需要.”——高等学校工科数学课程教学指导委员会(本科组)《关于工科数学系列课程改革与建议》2.“线性代数,我国教材多以矩阵研究为中心,利用矩阵的理论…

加紧培养青年教师,开展教学研究活动,不断提高本科数学教学质量

<正> 我校是一九八五年由原北京机械工业管理专科学校与陕西机械学院北京研究生部合并而成立的高等工科院校。当时我们教研室的大多数教师缺乏本科教学经验,而且青年教师较多,为了保证并不断提高本科     

基于SPOC的概率统计课程建设研究

基于SPOC的教学模式结合了MOOC教学与传统教学,为当代教学改革提供了新思路.本文以概率统计课程为例,分析概率统计课程教学的现状,探讨SPOC教学模式的设计流程,提出概率统计课程改革的新思路和遇到的困难,分析该教学模式在提高教学质量的同时,对教师和学生提出更高的要求.     

工科概率统计课程的教学改革设想

<正> 一、概率统计课程在工程技术中的应用性在工科大学生的四年课程学习中,一般有二年的数学课程,第一年为高等数学,第二年至少有二门工程数学,即线性代数与概率统计,有的工科专业还要加上复变函数与数理方程。概率统计作为一门应用性很强的学科,已经成为工程技术类的各专业和管理类专业的必修基础课。

Chance and probability: What do they mean to university engineering students?

The great interest aroused by the incorporation of Statistics and Probability into curricular projects has been accompanied by considerable evidence of significant difficulties in the meaningful learning and application of the concepts. These difficulties have been the subject of many studies, mostly concerning secondary school students. This study seeks to investigate the level of understanding of random phenomena, in a group of university students, on the second year of a Technical and Industrial Engineering Degree at the University of the Basque Country, in Spain. The students, who had all undertaken an introductory course in Probability Theory, were tested through both written questionnaires and one-to-one interviews, where they were presented with situations that demanded the ability to apply the knowledge they had learnt, at a high level, to a range of situations and to justify their reasoning. The results show that the vast majority of students had a poor understanding of random phenomena, applying alternative ideas to the ones taught on their course in Probability. The need to improve teaching strategies in Probability and Statistics, so that students can develop skills in constructing probabilistic models, is highlighted.     

利用科研实践提高概率统计教学质量

将“应用式教学”理念引入概率论与数理统计课程的教学,并给出在实际科研项目中遇到的一些相关应用实例,旨在提高学生的学习热情,实现科研为教学服务的目的．

A Special Topics Course in Perturbation Methods

A special topics course dealing with perturbation methods in applied mathematics which was recently taught at Stevens Institute of Technology is described. Since the course enrolment was comprised of undergraduate and graduate mathematics students as well as graduate students in engineering, an unusual course philosophy had to be developed and implemented. The approach taken to achieve this in both teaching techniques and selection of subject matter is discussed in detail. Finally, conclusions are drawn from the students’ and the instructor's experiences with the course which hopefully will be of value to those considering offering special topics courses in the future.

“Last curves not quite correct”: diagnostic competences of future teachers with regard to modelling and graphical representations

The article describes the results of a national enrichment to the six-country study Mathematics Teaching in the 21st century (MT21)—an international comparative study about the efficiency of teacher education. The enrichment focuses on the diagnostic competence of future mathematics teachers as sub-component of teachers’ professional competence for which the evaluation of students’ solutions of a modelling task about the course of a racetrack is demanded. In connection with two sub-facets of the diagnostic competence, namely the competence to recognise students’ misconceptions and the competence of criteria-guided assessment of students’ solutions, typical answer patterns are distinguished as well as the frequency of their occurrence with regard to future teachers’ phase of teacher education and the level of school teaching they are going to teach in.     

Definitions and examples in elementary calculus: the case of monotonicity of functions

This paper is devoted to the investigation of students’ understanding and handling of examples in the framework of an example-based introductory mathematics undergraduate course. The plan of the course included a wide use of graphs in standard lectures, tutoring sessions as well as in examinations. This study deals with the notion of increasing function, which has been introduced by means of both the standard definition and a range of examples and non-examples, most often conveyed through graphs. We have analysed students’ interpretations of the notion of increasing function as they applied them in a set of written examination tests. The data gathered have been completed by a number of interviews of students whose answers were difficult to interpret. The outcomes underline the importance of linguistic and semiotic competence and suggest that the design of innovative teaching paths should take care of the linguistic and semiotic skills needed to handle the representations involved.     

Analyzing connections between teacher and student topic-specific knowledge of lower secondary mathematics

The interpretive cross-case study focused on the examination of connections between teacher and student topic-specific knowledge of lower secondary mathematics. Two teachers were selected for the study using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Teachers completed the Teacher Content Knowledge Survey before teaching a topic on the division of fractions. The survey consisted of multiple-choice items measuring teachers’ knowledge of facts and procedures, knowledge of concepts and connections, and knowledge of models and generalizations. Teachers were also interviewed on the topic of fraction division using questions addressing their content and pedagogical content knowledge. After teaching the topic on the division of fractions, two groups of 6th-grade students of the participating teachers were tested using similar items measuring students’ topic-specific knowledge at the level of procedures, concepts, and generalizations. The cross-case examination using meaning coding and linguistic analysis revealed topic-specific connections between teacher and student knowledge of fraction division. Results of the study suggest that students’ knowledge could be associated with the teacher knowledge in the context of topic-specific teaching and learning of mathematics at the lower secondary school.     

Mathematics classroom instruction excellence through the platform of teaching contests

In this study, we aimed to examine features of mathematics classroom instruction excellence identified and valued through teaching contests in the Chinese mainland. By taking a case study approach, we focused on a prize-winning lesson as an exemplary lesson that was awarded the top prize in teaching contests at both the district and the city level. The analyses of the exemplary lesson itself revealed important features on the lesson’s content treatment, students’ engagement, and the use of multiple methods to facilitate students’ learning. These features are consistent with what the contest evaluation committees valued and what seven other mathematics expert teachers focused in their comments. The Chinese teaching culture in identifying and promoting classroom instruction excellence is then discussed in a broader context.
