Book Synopsis The Traditional Approach to Developmental Education by : Aaron S. Horn
Download or read book The Traditional Approach to Developmental Education written by Aaron S. Horn and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant challenge in higher education is to narrow the educational attainment gap between academically prepared and unprepared students. To this end, developmental or remedial education is intended to improve the academic skills and knowledge of students who are unprepared for undergraduate coursework, particularly in the areas of mathematics, reading, and writing. Arguably, developmental education may also serve a broader purpose, "to provide the minimum levels of reading, writing, and math skills deemed essential for functional participation in a democratic society and individual sustainability in a free economy" (Bahr, 2008, p. 211). Whether remedial education is effectively achieving these goals, however, has been a matter of considerable debate (Bailey, Jaggars, & Scott-Clayton, 2013; Goudas & Boylan, 2012). On the one hand, only 20% of community college students referred to developmental math and 37% of students referred to developmental reading complete a college-level course in the corresponding subject within three years (Bailey, Jeong, & Cho, 2010). Moreover, despite high rates of enrollment in developmental education, large gaps in achievement and degree completion persist (Ross et al., 2012). In California community colleges, 71% of college-ready students eventually complete a credential or transfer, compared to 41% of academically unprepared students (California Community Colleges, 2013). On the other hand, a simple comparison of success rates may not accurately portray the effectiveness of developmental education since "it is possible that developmental students would have even weaker outcomes if these services were not available" (Bailey, 2009, p. 15). Seemingly low rates of success among developmental students may be at least partly attributable to low levels of academic preparation and motivation (Bettinger, Boatman, & Long, 2013). This brief seeks to portray some of the difficulties that arise in conceptualizing remedial success rates and determining the effectiveness of developmental programs. First, the organization and cost of developmental education in the United States are described. Second, remedial enrollment rates are estimated by institutional type and various demographic attributes. Third, variation in success rates is demonstrated by categorizing students according to referral and enrollment status, course subject, severity of skill deficit, and academic intentions. Fourth, research on the effectiveness of the traditional approach is summarized, focusing on the effects of remedial assignment, enrollment, and completion. Finally, several policy implications are offered.
Book Synopsis Academic Motivation in Online and Traditional Community College Students by : Nora Beerline
Download or read book Academic Motivation in Online and Traditional Community College Students written by Nora Beerline and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compared the effects of academic motivation on traditional and online community college students. Online enrollment continues to increase, especially in public colleges and universities. Academic success in online courses, however, continues to lag behind academic success in face-to-face courses, especially for community college students. Previous studies have indicated that online students tend to have higher levels of intrinsic motivation, but these studies focused on university students. This study extends that research by examining the effects of motivation on community college students. The Academic Motivation Survey was used to collect data from 398 community college students at a Midwestern community college. A MANOVA analysis revealed that online community college students do have higher levels of intrinsic motivation than their face-to-face counterparts, but the difference between the two groups is not as wide as the difference in intrinsic motivation between online and face-to-face university students. Motivational differences were also found between College Credit Plus students and the traditional community college students, as well as significant differences between age groups and males and females. Community college students were also found to have significantly lower levels of intrinsic motivation than university students. Implications for instructional design for community college students are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research described in this paper examines the role of sense of classroom community, intrinsic motivation, and academic integration on academic achievement (using persistence and course grade as the dependent variable) for community college students in online courses. A total of 72 students enrolled in online community college courses participated in this study. Each participant identified one online community college course in which they were currently enrolled for the purposes of the study. Participants reflected on this course and completed modified and partial versions of three survey instruments- The Classroom Community Scale, the Academic Motivation Scale, and the Institutional Integration Scale to measure the independent variables of sense of classroom community, intrinsic motivation, and academic integration, respectively. At the completion of the semester, course grade and completion status for each participant were collected by the researcher.Results of the data analysis revealed numerous findings. Sense of classroom community was found to be significantly correlated with academic integration. Intrinsic motivation was also found to be significantly correlated with academic integration. Students with high levels of intrinsic motivation and relatively lower levels of extrinsic motivation (a concept which the author terms dominant intrinsic motivation) were found to have the strongest correlation with academic integration. Neither sense of classroom community nor intrinsic motivation was found to be predictive of course grade. Academic integration was also found to not be predictive of course grade at a statistically significant level. No between-groups differences were found on any of the independent variables (sense of classroom community, intrinsic motivation, and academic integration) for the following groups: Students working full-time versus students working less-than-full-time, and students in 100 level courses versus students in 200 level courses. No correlations were found between any of the independent variables and student age.

Book Synopsis Factors Supporting Persistence of Academically Underprepared Community College Students by : Dave Pelkey
Download or read book Factors Supporting Persistence of Academically Underprepared Community College Students written by Dave Pelkey and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify factors that support the likelihood of persistence of academically underprepared community college students to 45 college level credits. Factors considered in this research include: (a) race/ethnicity, (b) age, (c) enrollment status, (d) socio-economic status (SES), (e) first quarter GPA, (f) developmental need, (g) participation in a learning community, and (h) completion of a first year seminar course. The population of students used for the purposes of this research was a cohort of first time, full and part-time, community college students enrolled in associate degree pre-baccalaureate programs of study at Tacoma Community College during Fall quarter 2005. Students in this cohort placed below college level in mathematics, reading or English. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the existence, direction and strength of the relationships between each of the independent variables and the dependent variable the completion of 45 college credits. Findings from this study indicate that enrollment status, specifically full-time enrollment and first quarter GPA, both had statistically significant positive relationships to persistence of academically underprepared students at the community college. Although this research only identifies only two elements as having statistically significant relationships to the completion of 45 credits the data does indicate several other variables with high odds ratios that suggest a possibility that they influence the persistence of academically underprepared students and should be considered by practitioners at community colleges.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Academic and Athletic Motivation on the Academic Achievement of Community College Student-athletes by : Karyn L. Schulz
Download or read book The Impact of Academic and Athletic Motivation on the Academic Achievement of Community College Student-athletes written by Karyn L. Schulz and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When students enter college, most face common challenges such as learning to balance school and work, experiencing different expectations of college courses, and meeting and working with a diverse student body and faculty. The student-athlete faces these challenges as well as others. The student-athlete must learn not only to balance school and new expectations but also to adjust to the addition of practices, training sessions, and games to his or her full schedule of courses. Some student-athletes become celebrities, adding another demand to their already full load. Many community college student-athletes view the community college athletic program as a step towards playing at a Division I institution or even being recruited by a professional sports team. The probability is low, however, that community college student-athletes will go further in their sport, and is even smaller when it comes to becoming a professional athlete, Thus, is the reason for attending the community college for some athletes based on athletic and career motivation or academic motivation? Do student-athletes identify themselves as students or as athletes? -- Abstract.
