contents The present article is an empirical study that investigates the learning situation of linear algebra. Research was performed among 60 science and engineering students from different universities in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Shandong who were taught by three mathematics teachers in the course of a 3-day short-term training consisting of 24 classes; following this, the effectiveness of short-term training for mathematics curriculum learning in higher education was evaluated based on the IRT measurement model. The results indicate that regardless of the difficulty of the test, short-term training significantly enhances students' mastery of linear algebra knowledge points, and students can accurately perceive their mathematical achievements; the effect observed is not consistent with that of private tutoring (PT) in primary and secondary schools.
