碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 數學研究所 === 99 === The purpose of this research is to discuss the content and the process of the calculus consulting program. Also, the aims of this paper are to observe those students’ general mathematical ability and their general learning problem about calculus. This research has used non-sequential, lag-sequential analysis and quantitative content analysis as the tool to analyze the data. And the data came from the content of discussion during consulting program. By recording and classifying those data in different methods, it revealed certain student’s learning attitude and the motivation of coming to calculus consulting program. Based on the result, this paper proposed some suggestions that teachers should not teach contexts too fast or skip important examples which contain some algorithmic skills. Moreover, tutors should let students help each other analyzing and organizing some different problems, opinions or results.
