| Popis: | Simon Bolivar 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 ... |
