Book excerpt: The Board on Science Education and the Board on Mathematical Sciences and Analytics of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened the Workshop on Increasing Student Success in Developmental Mathematics on March 18-19, 2019. The Workshop explored how to best support all students in postsecondary mathematics, with particular attention to students who are unsuccessful in developmental mathematics and with an eye toward issues of access to promising reforms and equitable learning environments. The two-day workshop was designed to bring together a variety of stakeholders, including experts who have developed and/or implemented new initiatives to improve the mathematics education experience for students. The overarching goal of the workshop was to take stock of the mathematics education community's progress in this domain. Participants examined the data on students who are well-served by new reform structures in developmental mathematics and discussed various cohorts of students who are not currently well served - those who even with access to reforms do not succeed and those who do not have access to a reform due to differential access constraints. Throughout the workshop, participants also explored promising approaches to bolstering student outcomes in mathematics, focusing especially on research and data that demonstrate the success of these approaches; deliberated and discussed barriers and opportunities for effectively serving all students; and outlined some key directions of inquiry intended to address the prevailing research and data needs in the field. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental mathematics courses are intended to help underprepared students but often are a barrier for hundreds of students who fail these courses. High failure rates prevent students from achieving their academic goals, therefore; educational institutions are looking for methods to increase success in these courses. Such was the case at Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ), where high failure rates in developmental mathematics presented problems to the institution and its students. To increase pass rates in developmental education courses, a college-wide redesign initiative introduced in 2009 led to the implementation of a research-based model for developmental education. This model would be implemented in the form of Academic Success Centers (ASC) incorporating practices tailored to increase student success and persistence. To examine success rates of students taking developmental education courses in the ASCs, the College conducted a longitudinal predictive analytics study known as the Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID). The CHAID analyzed student success and retention of 10,051 developmental mathematics students over two academic terms. Additionally, the CHAID identified highly successful developmental mathematics teachers. These teachers, and the environment in which they taught (ASCs), became the basis of this qualitative study. The purpose of the study was two-fold. First, it focused on identifying pedagogical practices of highly successful developmental mathematics faculty who taught in the Academic Success Centers at FSCJ. Second, it focused on the areas of impact of the ASC as an environmental factor in student success. Data collected through observations, interviews, and documented analysis, along with the use of text mining, revealed that patterns emerged among participants in which they shared common beliefs about the importance of communicating with students, forming relationships with students, lecture and lab practices, the availability of physical resources, and the availability of academic support services within the environment where they interacted with their students. The intent of using the evidence from the key findings is to provide community college leaders with insight into pedagogical practices shared by highly successful developmental mathematics teachers and the role the learning environment serves in meeting students' educational needs.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed method study is to determine the effectiveness of the corequisite model on collegiate mathematics developmental education. Corequisite models are designed to allow students who place into pre-college level courses to complete the prerequisite material and college-level coursework simultaneously in their first semester. Traditionally, especially at open-access institutions like many of our nation's community colleges, students placed into developmental courses, are often charged full tuition to repeat coursework already completed in high school, wasting both time and money for the student. In this accelerated model, students who need remediation receive "just-in-time" delivery of remedial content, often from the same instructor as the college-level class they are enrolled in. This saves the student from having to face a long sequence of developmental courses and the challenges of re-enrolling in multiple semesters. The primary research question to compare how corequisite students' feelings about the subject matter differ from their peers who took a traditional developmental math sequence and if this approach helps close the achievement gaps between racial groups in mathematics. Developmental classes, which were originally designed to help underprepared students succeed in college, have become a substantial academic and financial barrier for students, especially those from historically underrepresented categories and corequisite course can hopefully fulfill that original purpose with more equitable and favorable results.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success rates for students in developmental education are dismal. The greatest need for developmental education instruction occurs in mathematics, where high numbers of underprepared students generate great concern and the need for substantial changes in higher education institutions. With higher rates of students requiring remediation in the community colleges, the identification of effective policies and practices in developmental education is necessary to increase the achievement rates of developmental education students, and more specifically developmental mathematics students. This study explored the relationship between developmental mathematics student performance and developmental education programs of the Urban Community College District colleges. In addition, this study set out to identify institutional characteristics between colleges whose developmental mathematics students met state mandated academic outcomes at higher rates than their sister colleges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most problematic issues facing community colleges is developmental education. In the last decade, more research has been conducted examining developmental education. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of developmental math in a rural community college setting. Is developmental math an effective intervention? This study consisted of first time college students who took the COMPASS placement exam and scored 18-48. Students who scored 18-33 were placed in Math 098 (N=241) and received the developmental intervention. Math 098 is a semester-long course designed to prepare students for college-level math coursework, and it served as the intervention. Students who scored 34-48 were placed in Math 100 (N=469) and did not receive the developmental intervention. Because this represents a bandwidth close to a cut-score, these 2 groups are viewed as equivalent (Trochim, 2008). The initial intent of the study was to implement a regression-discontinuity design, but this failed to meet two necessary conditions. The researcher then executed an ANOVA, a series of chi-square goodnes-of-fit procedures, and 2 binary logistic regressions in order to determine if any significant differences and/or relationship existed between treatment and control groups. Data were collected for this retrospective, quantitative research study from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness at the selected site. The selected site represents a medium-sized, rural community college located in the South. The findings in this study illustrate that those students who received the develomental intervention reported a statistically significant higher cummulative college GPAs than those who did not. The findings also illustrated that a statistically significant difference existed in regards to grades. Therefore, there was a statistically significant difference in grade distribution between both groups. When withdrawals and grades were evaluated together, no statistically significant distribution was observed. Two binary logisitic regressions were also conducted. No relationships were statistically significant between groups regarding Math 100 pass/fail rates or Math 100 completion rates. The researcher concluded that the findings suggest that Math 098 is an effective treatment for student achievement. The researcher recommended execution of more studies that replicate this model and examine rural populations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was performed to assess the effectiveness of the developmental mathematics program at Youngstown State University. For this study, two cohort groups of developmental mathematics students were selected, and the success rate of both groups in their developmental and subsequent college-level courses was tracked. The results of the cohort study was compared to the success rates found in a population study, to check if the developmental students performed as well in their college-level courses as the population. For every college-level course tracked in this study, there was no statistically significant difference in the passing rate of the cohort groups and the population group.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined whether a relationship existed between certain student characteristics and academic success at a two-year institution in Alabama. Moreover, the researcher utilized the results to determine the effectiveness of the developmental mathematics classes at the participating institution. In the current higher education environment, administrators and practitioners are called to effectively analyze and report the extent to which programs and classes are meeting the mission of the institution. By using a remediated-exempted research design, developmental classes can be considered effective if the underprepared students perform on par with the students that were prepared for college-level classes. Developmental status, gender, and race were compared with pass/fail status in the first college-level math class, graduation status, grade point average, and continuous enrollment. The data were also aggregated by ACT math subtest scores, COMPASS math subtest scores, and age. In this research, institutional data was collected for all students that enrolled in MTH 100, the first college-level math course, between fall 2002 and summer 2013. There were 10,003 students that qualified. The following information was collected for the population: age, gender, race, number of terms, term and year enrolled in MTH 100, ACT math subtest scores, COMPASS math subtest scores, cumulative grade point average at time of data collection, graduation status, and academic performance in MTH 100. Tests were run on the data using SPSS and the results were analyzed. Results from the analyses indicated that the developmental math classes at the participating institution were effective since the developmental students in the study performed as well as the non-developmental group in each of the variables on academic success tested. Moreover, there was a significant relationship in favor of developmental students in at least one category when compared with MTH 100 pass/fail status, graduation status, grade point average, and continuous enrollment. Current literature is at odds when reporting whether developmental classes are effective (Bahr, 2007, 2010a, 2010b, 2012, 2013; Cullinane & Treisman, Crisp & Nora, 2010; Deil-Amen & Rosenbaum, 2002; Adelman, 2004a; Glenn & Wagner, 2006; Lesik, 2007; Bettinger & Long, 2005, 2009; Kolajo, 2010; Attewell, Lavin, Domina, & Levey, 2006). The results of this study substantiated the claims that developmental classes are beneficial to students that need them since the developmental group performed as well as the non-developmental group when compared to MTH 100 pass/fail status, grade point average, graduation, and continuous enrollment. This study concluded that developmental status, gender, and race were related to student success outcomes of MTH 100 pass/fail status, graduation status, grade point average, and continuous enrollment.
