A Holistic Approach to Supporting Student-Centered Pedagogy: Navigating Co-Requisite Calculus I
PRIMUS, v31 n3-5 p608-626 2021
As calculus instruction moves further from lecture-based instruction toward student-centered pedagogy, support services must align with the changing goals for the course. This paper describes the work of a department as they collectively design and redesign a co-requisite Calculus I course, in an effort to better promote students' academic and social integration into active, student-centered calculus classrooms. We highlight the inclusion of more cognitively demanding and group-worthy tasks, re-negotiation of support for procedures and fundamental concepts, and promotion of collaborative participation. Our discussion is supplemented with reflections from faculty, graduate student instructors, and students.
