The purpose of this handbook is to help launch institutional
transformations in mathematics departments to improve student
success. We report findings from the Student Engagement in
Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning
(SEMINAL) study. SEMINAL's purpose is to help change agents, those
looking to (or currently attempting to) enact change within
mathematics departments and beyond--trying to reform the
instruction of their lower division mathematics courses in order to
promote high achievement for all students. SEMINAL specifically
studies the change mechanisms that allow postsecondary institutions
to incorporate and sustain active learning in Precalculus to
Calculus 2 learning environments. Out of the approximately 2.5
million students enrolled in collegiate mathematics courses each
year, over 90% are enrolled in Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses.
Forty-four percent of mathematics departments think active learning
mathematics strategies are important for Precalculus to Calculus 2
courses, but only 15percnt; state that they are very successful at
implementing them. Therefore, insights into the following research
question will help with institutional transformations: What
conditions, strategies, interventions and actions at the
departmental and classroom levels contribute to the initiation,
implementation, and institutional sustainability of active learning
in the undergraduate calculus sequence (Precalculus to Calculus 2)
across varied institutions? This book is published in cooperation
with CBMS.
