The evaluation of achievement on both tests, the responses to the questionnaire and comments from students showed that SI leader's characteristics associated to effective communication/active learning, teaching skills, and personal traits could be contributor to score achievements. The linear regression in the study shows that the three factors did not significantly predict the post-test score. However, the pre-test did significantly predict the post-test score in a remedial Math 20 at the end of the semester (Beta = .47, t (197) = 6.56, p

This book was released on 2021 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation in practice (DIP), responsive evaluation (RE) explored relationships of the Faulkner Academic Math Excellence (FAME) Laboratory characteristics and specific perceptions of students enrolled in developmental mathematics education courses at a rural community college in Alabama's southeastern region. This program evaluation examined information surrounding the effectiveness of the FAME Lab program and service activities housed within a two-year community college. The study explored perceptions of students within a community college developmental mathematics education program relative to three areas of focus: (a) students' expressed access and use of the FAME Lab program services, (b) students' perceptions of the influence of the FAME Lab program services relative to academic performance levels, and (c) students' perceived value of the FAME Lab program relative to successes in developmental math courses. The researcher performed an extensive review of the literature and identified a critical problem of low numbers of students successfully completing developmental mathematics courses among colleges across the United States as a pervasive challenge, uniquely identified within community colleges and evidenced by 96% of colleges across the country requiring remediation courses, primarily in mathematics (Butrymowicz, 2017). The participants in the study were community college developmental education students and faculty of the community college. A potential limitation of this study includes researcher bias. The magnitude of the problem identified in the literature provided the impetus for the investigation and aligned with the nature of the meaning and purpose for using the DIP, explicitly recognizing an existing problem in practice and performing a study aligned with the need acknowledged by the problem in practice. The Faulkner Academic Math Excellence (FAME) Laboratory program exemplifies and aligns with the type of intervention programs reflective of the remediation programs that colleges across the United States are utilizing to curb or remedy the problem of low numbers of students successfully completing developmental mathematics courses. The researcher communicated with the Vice-President of Instruction and the Math Division Chair and received approval to conduct the DIP study. The researcher created a questionnaire for the student participants and conducted a RE of the FAME Lab program to respond to the problem defined for investigation. The current study provided a practitioner approach to examining the problem by incorporating the use of the RE model (Stake, 2014) to discern the problem within a focused setting, explicitly utilizing the FAME Lab program within a two-year college located in the southeastern region of the United States. The use of the RE protocol provided the researcher with strategies to inform results focused on three areas of consideration: (a) the examination of program activities rather than program goals or intents; (b) the acquisition of students' needs, reactions, and information rather than college leaders' intentions or purposes; and (c) the reporting of differing perspectives in determining the success and failure of the program. Based on the researcher's critical use of the RE protocol, a 12-step implementation plan for the FAME Lab program to assist students in attaining success within developmental mathematics was provided to college officials and are is provided for consideration by other developmental math programs at colleges across the United States. These 12 considerations, presented in Chapter 5, coupled with additional discussions of study results, add to the body of literature supporting students' preparation for entering college mathematics programs, a practitioner problem pervasive in colleges across the United States. The study will inform and advance the professional practice by informing the implementation of developmental mathematics education for students who do not complete developmental mathematics courses successfully.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conceptual foundation for remedial education is straightforward: students are tested to determine whether they meet a given level of academic proficiency for college-level classes. For those who do not meet this level, deficiencies in skills are addressed through some form of supplementary instruction, most often remedial courses. The study summarized in this Brief employs a quasi-experimental design to examine remedial enrollment and outcomes of community college students throughout the state of Florida. Results of the study suggest that as a means for addressing the needs of under-prepared students, remediation has both benefits and drawbacks. After controlling for noncompliance and endogenous sorting around the placement test cutoff score, students on the margin of requiring math remediation were slightly more likely to persist to their second year. Similarly, the impacts of both math and reading remediation were positive in terms of the total (remedial and college-level) credits earned over six years. However, no effect was found on total college-level (non-remedial) credits completed. The likelihood of passing subsequent college-level English composition was slightly lower for reading remedial students, while no difference was found in future math course performance for math remedial students. No discernible impact was found in terms of certificate or associate degree completion or transfer to a public four-year college. Overall, the results suggest that remediation might promote early persistence in college, but it does not necessarily help students who are on the margin of passing the cutoff make progress toward a degree. The report concludes that additional effort is needed to estimate the impact of remedial courses on weaker students who score far below the placement cutoff necessary to take college-level courses. More work is also needed on the effects of remediation relative to its costs. Future research should also focus on institutional policies and practices, as well as particular services and classroom strategies, in order to explore differences in the effects of remediation by college and by remediation program design.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of the authors' proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness of math placement policies for entering community college students on these students' academic success in math, and their transfer and graduation rates. The main research question that guides the proposed study is: What are the effects of various basic skills mathematics paths on the course-taking patterns of community college students? Their study combines descriptive analyses with a regression discontinuity (RD) design to estimate the effect of developmental education. They have two closely related goals: (1) To provide a descriptive analysis of the course taking patterns (basic skills and college level) of community college students; and (2) To use a regression-discontinuity design to test the effect of assignment to different levels of basic skills courses in mathematics on subsequent educational outcomes. The sampling frame for their analysis consists of about 158,000 community college students who were placed into mathematics in one of nine Los Angeles County Community Colleges between June 2001 and September 2009 and for whom a Continuous Placement Score (CPS) is available in the management information system maintained by the Los Angeles Community College District. The authors have been able to identify the assessment and placement practices in 4 of the 9 community colleges. Table 1 describes the placement rules for these 4 colleges. This evaluation provides insights to the district and the state about the effect of placement on successful course sequences that have the potential to promote persistence and save millions of dollars to the state.

Shepherd and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An estimated 41% of the more than 11 million students who attend a community college need remediation, with remedial mathematics the most common course students need. The literature pertaining to best practices for student success in remedial mathematics abounds, yet, there is little evidence of the factors that influence instructor use of these best practices in the classroom. This study evaluated results of a 29-item survey of American Mathematical Association of Two Year Colleges' members on the influence of instructor demographics, faculty development, institutional policies and procedures, and student support services on instructor use of best practices in teaching remedial mathematics. Developmental Theory served as the study's theoretical framework, while the Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education and the Input-Environment-Output Model served as conceptual frameworks. Analysis revealed nine significant predictors of overall use of best practices, four of which were influenced by instructor demographics, three by institutional policies and procedures, and two by professional development. This study may inform policymakers and administrators alike as they scrutinize the delivery of remedial mathematics courses.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program evaluation case study examined the academic effectiveness of a developmental math program in a North Carolina community college (p. 5). Developmental or remedial college mathematics as used here includes courses for college students who were not ready for college-level math (p. 1). The CIPP evaluation model (context, input, process, product (p. 44): cf. Fitzpatrick, Sanders, and Worthen 2004, Program Evaluation: Alternative Approaches and Guidelines, 3rd ed.) was used as the framework for this program evaluation. (1) The research questions used to guide the research were (i) what are the conditions which make a developmental mathematics program at the college level necessary? (ii) what other attempts have been made to solve the problem? (iii) how does the implementation of the developmental program at this college align with recommendations for appropriate instruction of developmental math students? (iv) how is the developmental math program at the college being implemented? and (v) how effective is the developmental math program at the college? (2) Data collection consisted of qualitative and quantitative methods including interviews, surveys, a pretest and posttest of math achievement, and documentation review. The information from the surveys and documentation review was coded and then entered into an Excel spreadsheet and analyzed for frequency of occurrence by code. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, then coded. These data, along with the data from pretests and posttests, were then entered into SPSS software for analysis, and t-tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were conducted. (3) The research questions were answered as follows: (i) Without the help of developmental courses, many admitted students would not succeed at the college level (p. 110). (ii) The history of the developmental and remedial program at the college under study is sketched (p. 111). (iii) The researcher recommended that professional development be added for those working with underprepared students (p. 113). (iv) The majority of the current developmental math students (69%) and former developmental students (59%) who completed the surveys indicated they felt they had been placed correctly based on their placement scores (p. 114). Recommendations are made for revising the developmental math placement test rules. (v) According to the data collected and analyzed, the program is improving the arithmetic test scores of students (p. 117), and appears to be doing what it was designed to do.
