Active learning in undergraduate precalculus and single-variable calculus
Page: 512
The study presented here examines the active learning strategies currently in place in the Precalculus through single variable calculus sequence. While many lament the lack of active learning in undergraduate mathematics, our work reveals the reality behind that feeling. Results from a national survey of mathematics departments allow us to report the proportion of courses in the mainstream sequence utilizing active learning strategies, what those strategies are, and how those strategies are being implemented.
