The LTSN Maths Stats & OR Network offers funding for a limited number of projects investigating learning and teaching in mathematics to commence in February 2001. The Network particularly encourages proposals addressing one of the following topics:
Where are we now? - work with the Network in producing an analysis of all relevant QAA reports to identify good practice which is capable of dissemination
Learning through workshops - investigate how higher education mathematics may make best use of workshops group based learning and similar approaches After the Diagnostic Test - what next? - investigate effective and efficient remedial strategies and how they might be integrated with existing diagnostic techniques.
Other well-argued proposals will be considered but preference will be given to applications that address the topics listed above. Project descriptions will be expected to:
- summarise the aims timescale and expected outcomes of the project;
- have relevance to a wide cross-section of practitioners in the discipline;
- include plans showing collaboration with the Network in the dissemination of the results of the project.
