高中数学新课程微积分的课程设计分析

讲背景来源，讲思想方法，注重过程，联系实际，突出应用，体现数学的文化价值，是数学新课程所倡导的课程教学理念，要将这一理念具体落实到新增课程内容——微积分的课程内容教学设计上，需要从以下五个方面进行探讨：微积分诞生的历史和地位；微积分的基本思想方法；为什么要学微积分；新旧课程中微积分内容及其处理上的特点；导数概念的教学思考。     

谈谈极限理论教学的处理方法

<正> 极限理论是微积分中的重要内容,它是重点也是难点。处理好极限理论部分的教学,让学生学好这部分内容,就为学习微积分以及许多后继课程打下了坚实的理论基础,同时通过这部分内容的学习还能训练培养学生的严密的逻辑推理和分析问题的能力。也就是说,学好

大规模在线开放课程(MOOC)近年来迅猛发展,对高校传统的学习和教学模式产生巨大影响.微积分作为理工科院校的核心基础课程,进行适应MOOC环境下的课程教学改革尤为关键.通过分析MOOC的特点和优势,探讨微积分教学在新兴在线课程学习模式冲击下所面临的诸多挑战和机遇.以借力MOOC课程与课堂教学进行优势互补为目标,从引入信息交互中心的微积分课程框架设计、基于关联主义的学习者网络构建、"线上线下"复合式教学模式等方面,对开展微积分教学改革进行思考和尝试.     

关于中学数学中微积分教学的思考

<高中数学课程标准>大幅度删减了传统的教学内容,代之以更为有用的近代数学最基础的知识和技能,新课程增加的微积分内容在近几年高考数学试卷中始终作为重要的考查对象,保持较高出题率,而且也达到了一定的深度.为适应21世纪的需要,提高学生的数学素养,加快中学数学课程的现代化步伐,推动中学数学课程改革,在教学中,教师必须使学生掌握微积分的概念、思想和价值,从更高的角度俯瞰传统的中学数学.本文将从以下几个方面探讨中学微积分的教学.……     

探索微积分在中学数学中的必要性

美国的中学数学教育,为了顺应科学技术现代化发展的需要,早已将微积分的内容作为中学数学课程中的必修或选修内容．我国中学的微积分教学重视程度时起时落,虽然在现今的课程改革中将微积分纳入了高中的必修系列（上海课程除外）,但有关微积分教学的必要性改革仍是一个颇有争议的问题．     

微积分MOOC数据的统计分析研究

MOOC(Massive Open Online Course)即"大规模在线开放课程"已成为国内外互联网在线学习的热点.北京理工大学微积分MOOC课程自2014年在中国大学MOOC网站上线,经过2年的开课,积累了丰富的课程数据.基于微积分MOOC数据,通过统计分析的方法,研究了微积分MOOC参与者的成绩分布,最终成绩与主观作业和客观测验成绩之间的关系,并给出了课程参与者数量变化模型.还结合两个样本班级学生的期中、期末卷面成绩,对比分析了参与微积分MOOC和未参与微积分MOOC学习的学生成绩,结果表明,参加微积分MOOC学习的同学期末较期中取得的进步程度要好于未参加微积分MOOC学习的同学,且这种促进效果对课堂学习微积分有困难的同学尤其明显.     

统计方法在研究微积分与后续课程相关性中的应用与实证分析

着眼于本科生后期专业课程的学习效果,探讨微积分课程学习效果的有效性.以北京理工大学某经管类专业全部学生大一大二两学年的学习成绩为依据,分析微积分课程学习与后续理科课程学习的相关性,提出评估微积分课程学习效果的量化指标θ值的概念,并基于回归分析和相关性分析给出其算法.在实例分析中,通过研究,发现学生微积分课程学习效果的好坏会影响他们对后续相关课程的学习,同时也发现学生将微积分知识运用到间接相关科目的能力比运用到直接相关的科目的能力薄弱.

Areas and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

We present a concise, yet self-contained module for teaching the notion of area and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for different groups of students. This module contains two different levels of rigour, depending on the class it used for. It also incorporates a technological component.     

Filling an area discretely and continuously

The literature dealing with student understanding of integration in general and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus in particular suggests that although students can integrate properly, they understand little about the process that leads to the definite integral. The definite integral is naturally connected to the antiderivative, the area under the curve and the limit of Riemann sums; these three conceptualizations of the definite integral are useful in different contexts and provide students with what it takes to interpret the definite integrals. Research shows that students rarely invoke the multiplicatively-based summation conception of the definite integral although it is essential for evaluating line integrals, surface integrals and volumes. This paper describes a teaching module that promotes understanding as well as activating all three conceptualizations of the definite integral through motivating the accumulation area function and the results in the Fundamental Theorems of Calculus.     

A university basic course on mathematics: MAT‐100

Simón Bolívar University has been experimenting for the past three years with a new concept in the teaching of Traditional Calculus, a method of open studies that puts more emphasis on learning than on being taught. This achieves an independent way of thinking in the students.

MAT‐100 is taken by all the students that enter the University. It is divided into 26 learning units that go from the Cartesian Plane and Functions to Differential Equations in Partial Derivatives. Every Learning Unit is divided into learning modules, each of which is subdivided into activities with their own learning objectives and exercises of auto‐evaluation.

The students are distributed in sections of approximately 50. Each section is attended by a professor and a student aid. In class the students work in groups where they do workshops and consult, studying the Units, solving exercises and resolving auto‐evaluation tests. Lectures are given periodically on the most difficult topics.

When the student feels prepared, he presents an exam which is given weekly. The exams are corrected by a computer DEC‐10 with a system programmed in SIMULA.

At the moment the course is being taken by 3439 students distributed in 56 sections, employing 29 professors and 103 students aids. We have evaluated the course and have found that the students have developed a great ability in Calculus.

The use of interactive visualizations to foster the understanding of concepts of calculus: design principles and empirical results

Calculus and functional thinking are closely related. Functional thinking includes thinking in variations and functional dependencies with a strong emphasis on the aspect of change. Calculus is a climax within school mathematics and the education to functional thinking can be seen as propaedeutics to it. Many authors describe that functions at school are mainly treated in a static way, by regarding them as pointwise relations. This often leads to the underrepresentation of the aspect of change at school. Moreover, calculus at school is mainly procedure-oriented and structural understanding is lacking. In this work, two specially designed interactive activities for the teaching and learning of concepts of calculus based on dynamic geometry software are presented. They accentuate the aspect of change and the object aspect of functions using a double stage visualization. Moreover, the activities allow the discovery and exploration of some concepts of calculus in a qualitative-structural way without knowing or using curve-sketching routines. The activities were used in a qualitative study with 10th grade students of age 15–16 in secondary schools in Berlin, Germany. Some pairs of students were videotaped while working with the activities. After transcribing, the interactions of the students were interpreted and analyzed focusing to the use of the computer. The results show how the students mobilize their knowledge about functions working on the given tasks, and using the activities to formulate important concepts of calculus in a qualitative way. Also, some important epistemological obstacles can be detected.     

Active learning: a case study of student engagement in college Calculus

This paper presents a case study for strategic engagement of students in a Calculus course in order to produce increased learning in the classroom. Since it has been shown that active learning can promote greater comprehension for students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses, the researcher utilized many types of active learning techniques to enhance classroom instruction. The key components implemented are presented as a model of enhanced learning through developed classroom engagement. This course redesign model entitled, Strategic Engagement for Increased Learning (SEIL), has the potential to (1) contribute to the body of knowledge on ways to improve mathematics skills for college students, (2) identify successful teaching strategies and technologies that will promote the retention of STEM students, (3) increase the success rate of students taking Calculus, and (4) help produce more STEM graduates needed for the STEM workforce in the United States of America.
